theater ‣ Tons of potential here: a musical version of The Secret Life of Bees, based on Sue Monk Kidd's novel, with music by Duncan Sheik, book by Lynn Nottage, and direction by Sam Gold. Starts May 12 at the Atlantic Theater.
movie ‣ "I am Alice Guy-Blaché, the first female film director. I made my first film in 1896 at age 23. I went on to write, direct, or produce more than 1,000 films." That's a documentary we want to see and it unspools as Be Natural next Friday at IFC.

book ‣ A valedictory volume of essays by the late, much-loved scientist Oliver Sacks: Everything in Its Place: First Loves and Last Tales.
