So Much To Do This Summer Night: Newman/MacLaine, Philharmonic, Irondale Benefit

For starters: Movies under the stars with Brooklyn Film Works. Tonight they're presenting a film that Hugh just loves. It's called What a Way to Go directed by J. Lee Thompson. With Shirley MacLaine, Paul Newman, Robert Mitchum It's part of their Downturns & Destiny film series and it's al fresco in JJ Byrne/Washington Park tonight beginning at 8:30.

To complicate matters: the New York Philharmonic is in Prospect Park this evening. Tonight Alan Gilbert conducts: Mozart Symphony No. 41, Jupitar and Mozart Symphony No. 7. But can you bring your dog?

An OTBKB reader wrote in with this query:
Do you know if I can take my small dog to the NY Philharmonic in Prospect Park
tonight?  I used to live in Manhattan and loved going to the Central Park
version where I'd bring my dog and a bottle of wine, but wanted to find out if
that was also true in Prospect Park tonight.  Any insight?

And to really make this a difficult choice: there's also a Mid-Summer Evening's Bash in Fort Greene, a joint benefit for the Irondale Ensemble Project and Theater for a New Audience's Brooklyn's Dreamers at Irondale on 35 South Oxford Street at Lafayette from 6:30 until 10 p.m. It should be one heck of a fun party for two VERY worthy and fabulous institutions.
