Here are a few of the best events happening on Monday and how to tune in (all times are Eastern).
The Frieze Art Fair, From Home
Now on the Frieze website
Frieze week is underway, and while it’s not exactly streaming, it is a virtual live event that’s being held online-only for the first time. And unlike last year, when it would have cost more than $75 just to attend on Randalls Island in New York’s East River, Frieze New York 2020 is free. Via its website, you can “stroll” through digital viewing rooms for more than 200 galleries from across the world, including more than 60 based in New York and others from Glasgow, Brussels, Johannesburg, Seoul and other cities that seem farther away with every week of quarantine. Works can be sorted by artist, price, medium and more.
When: Now through May 15.
Where: Register on Frieze.com for access on the site and on a dedicated app.
A Live Reading of ‘The White Chip’
8 p.m. on Facebook
Cast members of the Off Broadway production of “The White Chip” — Sean Daniels’s harrowing comedy about addiction and sobriety — are reuniting on Monday for a live benefit performance for the Voices Project, a recovery advocacy group. Genesis Oliver, Joe Tapper and Finnerty Steeves will read, and the Arizona Theater Company will stream the performance. The production was a New York Times Critic’s Pick. In her October review, Laura Collins-Hughes said the show achieved “a delicate equilibrium between laugh-out-loud comedy and gasp-inducing, self-inflicted tragedy.”
When: 8 p.m.
Where: The Arizona Theater Company’s Facebook page and YouTube channel.
A Conversation With André Holland
2 p.m. on 92Y Online
The actor André Holland has appeared in a string of highly praised projects over the past few years: the Oscar-winning film “Moonlight”; the Broadway debut of August Wilson’s play “Jitney”; the Cinemax series “The Knick”; and now as the central character in Netflix’s new multilingual mini-series “The Eddy,” executive produced by the Oscar winner Damien Chazelle (“La La Land,” “Whiplash”). On Monday, Holland will talk with Entertainment Weekly’s David Canfield about his role in “The Eddy,” his career and his experience shooting overseas in light of the pandemic.
When: 2 p.m.
Where: 92Y Online.
‘Romeo and Juliet,’ by the San Francisco Ballet
5:30 p.m. on Facebook
Lincoln Center at Home, the performing arts center’s online portal, is presenting the San Francisco Ballet’s 2015 production of “Romeo and Juliet,” filmed at Lincoln Center. The show was choreographed by Helgi Tomasson, the artistic director and principal choreographer for the San Francisco Ballet, and uses the popular score by Sergei Prokofiev. In 1994, The New York Times called Tomasson’s take “a somewhat streamlined, aerated staging of that popular ballet.” The title roles are performed by Maria Kochetkova and Davit Karapetyan.
When: 5:30 p.m.
Where: The Lincoln Center Facebook Page and website.
