Bausch and Lomb
(140 Stone St.) is the Artists Breakfast Group meeting ... anyone interested in art or creativity is invited.
The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Symbiopsychotaxiplasm Take One starting at 8 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, "on a warm spring day in 1968, filmmaker William Greaves gathers together a cast and crew to shoot a brief scene in Central Park. The director relentlessly provokes his underlings, however, and the process soon degenerates into behind-the-scenes bickering and backstage drama. The problems seem real, but is what we're seeing a genuine look at the production of a failed film, an improvisational drama about the same, or some mixture of both?"
