Every Friday, HERE is presenting a live stream of a theater artist sharing a work in some stage of completion.  I don't usually List works in progress (I've been burned too many times with semi-coherent semi-realized works in progress that then turned out to be great when completed) — but these are desperate times.  And of course the artists on HERE's roster are fabulous.  Like, for instance, this week's Aaron Landsman:  a sharply analytic playwright whose work is also strangely moving (he wrote that Open House piece a decade or so ago, performed in various apartments throughout New York) (no, I couldn't get a ticket, either).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  That cocktail of cocktails, the Sidecar (another one that requires a little bit of work — but is SO worth it).  Let's get the work out of the way first:  spread some of the finest, most powdery sugar you have on a plate.  Rub a lemon wedge around half of the rim of a chilled Martini glass or coupé and then dip the moistened side of the glass in the sugar, creating a half sugar rim.  Now pour 1-1/2 oz. Brandy, 1 oz. Cointreau (or other orange liqueur), and 1/2 oz. lemon juice into an ice-filled cocktail shaker, shake, and strain into the glass.  You're done.
