‘Tomorrow’s Parties’ at New Hazlett; Ice Skating at Schenley Park (Tues., 1/10/17)

1) The British theater company Forced Entertainment, a highly regarded experimental group, is visiting Pittsburgh for a pair of back-to-back one-night shows. First up is a piece called Tomorrow’s Parties—and though the title evokes the 1967 song by Velvet Underground, it’s a duet without music. The piece consists of two people trading rapid-fire speculations about the future of humankind: Will we live in a world that’s overpopulated or severely de-populated? Will we be vegetarians or cannibals? Some critics have called Tomorrow’s Parties humorous yet profoundly thought-provoking while others say essentially “WTF?”

Forced Entertainment is brought to town by the Andy Warhol Museum in conjunction with the New Hazlett Theater and Carnegie Nexus. 8 p.m. Tonight only for ‘Tomorrow’s Parties.’ Both shows are at the New Hazlett, 6 Allegheny Square East, North Side. (MV)
