5:30pm: Taqueria Condesa, 824 9th Ave.
Head to Taqueria Condesa to kick off your Theatre Night Out, where you can get reasonably priced yet delicious Mexican food (in Midtown?? Yes!). We're also a sucker for frozen margs, and you bet they've got 'em here!

7:00pm: Aftermath, A.R.T./NY Mezzanine Theatre, 502 W 53rd St.
Then head to A.R.T./NY Theaters to catch this new play by journalist and playwright, David Zax! In Aftermath, 28-year-old freelance journalist Josh Goldman has just survived a Taliban kidnapping in Afghanistan, and is recovering in his childhood home with this parents. As Josh struggles to reconnect with his family and make sense of what he's endured, we learn how the young journalist found the courage to take on his most dangerous assignment, and at what cost. This timely drama examines questions of moral responsibility, privilege, and sacrifice in the context of global political conflict and family ties. Directed by Colton Pometta!

8:45pm: Rise Bar, 859 9th Ave.
After the show, grab drinks at Rise Bar, an unpretentious, extremely fun gay bar in Hell's Kitchen!

(Aftermath runs from 10/19-11/8 - some nights are already sold out, so get your tickets now!)
