If you go to the theater in Brooklyn, chances are you've seen the work of William Burke.  A bear of a playwright (and sometimes performer), he's happily ubiquitous on Brooklyn stages -- and, as far as I'm concerned, always more than welcome, his work funny, astute, and joyously non-linear.  Here, along with singer-songwriter Catherine Brookman, he presents "a theatrical séance for listening".  I'd forego trying to suss that out and just go.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  It must look like back-scratching, but I can't help it if my friends run great places.  Mekelburg's Clinton Hill (a/k/a OG Mekelburg's):  have some caviar pie, have a Nana's Meatloaf sandwich, have lots of beer.
