Members of the Yes Men are great pranksters. On Nov. 12, 2008, the artist collective printed and distributed thousands of copies of a fake New York Times dated July 4, 2009 with the headline “Iraq War Ends.’’ They also pose as top executives of coporations they’re not fond of, and lie their way into business conferences to parody their corporate targets. Member Mike Bonnano (right, with Andy Bichlbaum) has permission to appear at tonight’s “City as Stage, City as Process’’ speaker event. 7-9 p.m. Free. MIT’s Bartos Theater, Wiesner Building, 20 Ames St., Cambridge. 617-253-5229. visualarts.mit.edu
