The live storytelling series is back, orators, and this week's subject is bound to bring in some compelling tales. The theme? Trust. Witness the brilliance beginning at 8 p.m.; $8; The Bell House.

Tuesday
Bookbinding Parties With Short Stack Editions
Love recipes, whole foods, independent publications and handmade goods? Then you may be the perfect candidate to attend a bookbinding party this week for Short Stack Editions, a new series of single-subject recipe books that will debut this fall. Featuring the culinary creations of Susan Spungen, Ian Knauer and Soa Davies, the recipe books have been written, edited and illustrated. Now they just have to be hand-stitched together—and that's where the parties come in. Attendees will stitch their own books, as well as others, while witnessing demos, nibbling things, and chatting with contributors. Multiple dates; $20; Kitchensurfing Townhouse.

If you were one of the countless film fans who fell in love with New Orleans-based indie flick Beasts of the Southern Wild last year, good news: You can relive the magic in an entirely new way this week at Celebrate! Brooklyn's live score performance, featuring Dan Romer, Benh Zeitlin and The Wordless Orchestra, who together will recreate the original score.
