Pencil This In: Monday

MUSIC: The Los Angeles Master Chorale performs Handel's Messiah tonight at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. But the audience has a part in this fun sing-along. So get your "hallelujah" ready.

7:30 pm // Walt Disney Concert Hall // 111 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles // $16-$69 (Cheaper tickets are getting scarce).

Do you think this is a romantic comedy by Crispin Glover?

OUTDOORS: Santa Monica pretends its Pershing Square with an ice rink of its own. It’s a stone’s throw away from the Third Street Promenade, so you can shop then skate or vice versa.

Until 9 pm tonight // Ice at Santa Monica // 1324 Fifth St., Santa Monica // $10 includes skate rental.

COMEDY: Harold Night is a night of long-form improv from some of LA’s best comedy ensembles at the Upright Citizens Brigade. “The Harold” is a 30-minute improv structure pioneered by Del Close.

8 pm, 9:30 pm // Upright Citizens Brigade // 5919 Franklin Blvd., Los Angeles // $5.

FILM: Film critic Stephen Farber’s “Reel Talk” series screens new films for audiences and hosts a Q&A with those involved in the film. Tonight marks the end of the winter season. On tap for tonight: Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street with producer Richard Zanuck in attendance.

7 pm // Wadsworth Theatre // 11301 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles // $17.

CRISPIN GLOVER FANS: Glover screens his film It is Fine, EVERYTHING IS FINE! (the second installment in his “It” trilogy.) Co-directed by Glover and David Brothers, the film is based on the work of late author Steven C. Stewart: “a psychosexual, fantasy, a noirish, surreal story of a wheelchair-bound Lotahrio (with a fetish for women with really long hair) who has women, literally, dropping at his feet.” There’s a live presentation of Glover “Big Slide Show” before the film and a Q&A and signing afterward.

8 pm // Egyptian Theatre // 6712 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles // $20.

"It is Fine, Everything is Fine" is twisted and excellent; fantasied empowerment. Not overblown or filled with unneeded arty-ness. Check it out.
