It’s no secret that Ditmas Park is an oasis for talented and ambitious New Yorkers in all sorts of industries. Here are a few neighbors with news to share:

- [The National](http://americanmary.com/?ref=bklyner.com) is playing tonight at the [Prospect Park Bandshell](http://www.prospectpark.org/visit/places/bandshell?ref=bklyner.com). The show is sold out, but you can always camp out on the grass with a blanket and other picnic materials and enjoy the sound. Music starts at 7pm.
- [Scott Organ](http://scottorgan.com/?ref=bklyner.com), [whose film “Playdate” premiered last year](/blog/art-music/scott-organs-playdate-to-premiere-at-tribeca-this-week) at the TriBeCa Film Festival, has a new project in the works: an off-broadway show called Phoenix, set to star [Julia Stiles](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005466/?ref=bklyner.com) ([Dexter](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0773262/?ref%5F=nm%5Fflmg%5Fact%5F16&ref=bklyner.com), the [Bourne](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005466/?ref=bklyner.com) series) and [James Wirt](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1836786/?ref=bklyner.com) ([All My Children](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065272/?ref%5F=nm%5Fflmg%5Fact%5F11&ref=bklyner.com), [Guiding Light](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044265/?ref%5F=nm%5Fflmg%5Fact%5F10&ref=bklyner.com)). The show centers around Bruce and Sue, two people who meet several weeks after their one-night stand. Although Sue wants to leave their relationship at that, Bruce finds himself compelled to follow her home to Phoenix, AZ. The show runs from August 7-23 at the [Cherry Lane Theatre](http://www.cherrylanetheatre.org/home?ref=bklyner.com). Phoenix is also currently being turned into a film directed by [Amy Redford](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0714844/?ref=bklyner.com) (known for acting in [Sunshine Cleaning](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0862846/?ref%5F=nm%5Fflmg%5Fact%5F5&ref=bklyner.com) and [Law & Order: Criminal Intent](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0275140/?ref%5F=nm%5Fflmg%5Fact%5F9&ref=bklyner.com)).
