Celebrate the legacy of actor Treat Williams, who died tragically in a recent motorcycle crash, with director Milos Forman's 1979 film adaptation of the musical Hair. He was already a Broadway vet (Grease, Over Here!, Once in a Lifetime) when he made the film, but Hair marked his debut as a movie lead, and he's an incredibly charismatic Berger, the leader of a band of anti-war hippies cavorting around NYC.

Attention avant-garde theatre lovers: After three decades, the New Ohio Theatre is closing, which means this is the final Ice Factory ever. This Obie-winning fest is all about emerging artists taking risks, with NYC companies invited to present their latest works in progress over four days. The subjects are timely and the offerings diverse, and the second performance of each show will also be available to live-stream at home, with a recording available through the last day of the festival. This week, you can watch DEADCLASS, OHIO online, about young folks conducting a séance at a Jewish cemetery in the Midwest, a piece inspired by Polish artist Tadeusz Kantor's seminal 1975 theatre work Dead Class.
