Dance Performance | "Jazz's Premier Tap Dancer" Takes the Stage
Celebrated dancer, musician, improviser, choreographer, and educator Michela Marino Lerman performs alongside special guests she has personally curated. This evening centers live music, tap dance as a musical form, and culturally rooted improvisation, with an emphasis on community, legacy, and New York-based artistry. Recognized by DownBeat as "jazz's premier tap dancer" and described by The New York Times as "an outstanding jazz musician," Lerman is known for her dynamic, deeply musical approach to tap--positioning the form not only as dance, but as a vital language of jazz. Mentored by tap legends including Gregory Hines, Buster Brown, Leroy Myers, and Mable Lee, Lerman brings to the stage an artistic vision grounded in tradition and propelled by innovation. Across the residency, she will perform in dialogue with her guests, with each event highlighting a distinct theme while reflecting Lerman's lifelong commitment to rhythm, collaboration, and the ever-evolving spirit of tap.

Staged Reading | This Motherless Earth: Dystopian Drama (Workshop Production)
This Motherless Earth is set in a small desert town, in a future where women can no longer carry children and parenthood is regulated through state-issued synthetic infants. When an auditor arrives to observe a couple's eligibility to receive one of these children, the present fractures with memories of a childhood shaped by a mass illness. The development process will center on the play's atmospheric weather events--sudden heatwaves, storms, flash flooding, and drastic temperature shifts--using projection and visual design to create recurring environmental motifs that reflect the story's emotional and political climate. Written by Kate Vozella. Directed by Colm Summers. Witness and respond to this brand new work. Vozella and Summers will share up to 45 mins of what they've been working on, followed by an opportunity for you to respond and provide thoughts and insight. Your feedback is welcome and essential to the next phase of artistic development.

Play | Shakespeare's Hamlet: Landmark Tragedy in the Park

Directed by Nicholas Martin-Smith. Cushions will be provided to sit on the stairs of the monument. There is very limited room if you bring your own chair. Please arrive no later than 6:20pm. There will be no late seating.
