Monday, June 9th

This article was published in the June 9, 2008, edition of The New York Observer.

Who says the garde is no longer avant? Downtown theater troupe New Georges hosts a gala, “Barefoot in Tribeca,” at a five-story private residence with an outdoor pool—now that’s just gratuitous, people—and insists guests come barefoot, as “footwear will be provided!” (Our money’s on Balenciaga Chain Vamp Knee Boots!) Tony nominee Martha Plimpton will receive an award as Kal Penn of Harold & Kumar helps theater types perform theatrical vignettes. We’re hoping this mess somehow results in Wally Shawn in Bermuda shorts.

[Barefoot in Tribeca, 13 Harrison Street, 6:30 p.m., 646-336-8077]
