Street Tree Stewardship Workshop | Not every event you read about in our daily “Today in Chelsea” section will actually be happening on the “day of.” So call this one “Four Days From Now in Chelsea”—because we want to give plenty of advance notice, so the idea has time to grown on you. On Tues., April 30, 6:30-8:30pm at P.S. 41 (116 W. 11th St.), New York City Speaker Corey Johnson’s District 3 office is partnering with the New York City Parks Department, for a Street Tree Stewardship Workshop, where residents will learn how they can best take care of their new trees. With Arbor Week starting on April 26, Speaker Johnson noted, “This is a perfect time to learn more about our work to beautify our neighborhoods… As we as a society begin to grapple with the dangers of climate change and chart a course for how we respond, it won’t be elected officials leading the way—it will be grassroots activists, and people like you, moving us forward.

Times Squares at the Laurie Beechman Theater | Not every event you read about in our daily “Today in Chelsea” section will actually be happening in Chelsea (but when we do stray, it won’t be far). So call this one “Today in Hell’s Kitchen.” Every other Friday through June 21, it’s tic-tac-anything-goes at the Laurie Beechman Theatre, as go-to nightlife chronicler and pop culture commentator Michael Musto plucks quips from his ample quill of witticisms, in a giddy new stage show based on The Hollywood Squares.

The premise is simple: There’s a Tic-Tac-Toe board on the side of the stage, along with three chairs—occupied by Musto in the middle (i.e., the “Center Square”), and two guests (for the April 26 edition, those guests are Flotilla DeBarge and Everett Quinton). The questions, asked by Cusack, draw upon everything from current events to semi-obscure trivia. Two volunteers plucked from the audience are the contestants, who must agree or disagree with the amusing, possibly misleading, answer given by the celebrity panelist of their choice. And that choice is not random. The strategy is, of course, to get three aligned X’s or O’s, win the game, and claim your prize (two tickets to something fabulous). To read our interview with Musto, click here.

Times Squares happens every other Friday through June 21, 10pm, at the Laurie Beechman Theatre (at 407 W. 42nd St., btw. 9th & 10th Aves., inside the West Bank Cafe). Tickets, $20 (there’s also a $20 food/drink minimum), are available at 212-352-3101 or www.SpinCycleNYC.com. Visit the show’s Facebook page. Got questions? Call 212-352-3101 or send an email to TimesSquaresNYC1@gmail.com.
