Grab a six pack and a bottle of firewhiskey and head on down. SHOT4SHOT is a movie game with a drinking problem. Roles are blind cast, scripts are handed out, and drinking rules are assigned for the cast and audience which guarantees a night of uproarious fun and nostalgia. This week? We're back with the cast you love tackling the second film. The guy playing Harry still hasn't read the books or seen the films but he is aware that there are snakes in it now.
It’s a drinking game! Beer and wine are available at The Tank’s bar. BYOB if you’d like to do shots!

Superhero Clubhouse Fellowship Performance
Presented by Superhero Clubhouse and The Tank
Featuring:
Trés Marias is a new performance work that explores climate justice, Puerto Rican identity, and hope after hurricanes. Weaving personal stories of loss and resilience that bridge New York, Puerto Rico, and the glacial Andes, Trés Marias is a love poem to the communities that emerge from the wreckage of displacement.
By Shy Richardson and Karina Yager, 2018-2019 Fellows
Drexciya, a cli-fi multimedia performance about water as a tool of both healing and oppression for black, brown, and indigenous Americans.
By Aya Lane and Imani Dennison, 2018-2019 Associate Fellows
The Fellowship is a six-month paid residency with Superhero Clubhouse for two individuals to collaboratively create a new performance-based project centered on environmental justice.
Superhero Clubhouse unites ecology and theater to enact justice, cultivate hope, and inspire a thriving future. We are a New York-based community of artists, scientists, and environmental professionals invested in a long-term experiment to understand how theater can help shift consciousness in the face of global climate change.

Email Pro is a live show based on Ivan Anderson's long-running email performance art. The show includes standup comedy, an interactive seminar on writing emails to strangers (in real time), bursts of live music, and Q&A. Actual emails are written in front of an audience, with or without audience participation. The whole thing is like a glitched-out combination of talk show, email masterclass, and comedy meltdown.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT EVERY EMAIL PRO PERFORMANCE IS UNIQUE, AND EACH ONE WILL BE DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER ONES. Get started by visiting http://emailpro.email/

"Who are you gonna call?" Not the Ghostbusters. Not anymore. Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler, and Winston Zeddemore's beloved business is locked up... And it was going to be a family one.
It's strange how suddenly things can change. Your business can be making national press then the sign collects dust. You can be heroes one day and nobodies the next... and the next... and the next. Now you're parents. You may have failed there too. You blame yourself. So do we. No sense worrying about it now.
Unbeknownst to all, something stirs downtown... And it's not just drama.
Saw something paranormal? We're ready to believe you but at what cost? The hit show is back.
