It's an occasion for both cheer and depression to get a new piece by Matt Marks, the wonderful young Brooklyn composer who died this Spring, suddenly and much too soon.  And this looks just great:  Marks collaborated with Kristin Marting of HERE and video designer Lianne Arnold to fashion a fantastical Bulgakovesque narrative from a book of poetry by Anna Rabinowitz.  And the cast includes Paul Pinto, John Kelly, and Lauren Flanigan! 

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  As far as I'm concerned, the upstairs bar at the celebrated Modern Korean Atomix, for great cocktails and bar snacks, simply overshadows everything else in the neighborhood (except Atomix's downstairs chef's counter).
