Play | Pen/Man/Ship: Broadway Actors in a Period Drama (virtual)


1896. When Ruby, a young Black woman fleeing the American South, boards a ship bound for Liberia, she finds herself at odds with her companion’s domineering, God-fearing father and his mysterious expedition. Unwilling to sit passively below deck, she befriends the crew, becoming entangled in a mutinous uprising that threatens them all. Performed live with breakthrough technology and expansive visuals that put the audience aboard the troubled vessel, pen/man/ship is a heart-pounding story of truth-seeking at all cost and a powerful reminder of the dangerous limits of self-righteousness. Written by Christina Anderson (Playwrights Horizons, The Public Theatre, Yale Repertory Theatre) Directed by Lucie Tiberghien The cast features Lucille Lortel Award winner Crystal Lucas-Perry (A Bright Room Called Day at the Public Theater), Kevin Mambo ("Marvel's Luke Cage" on Netflix, Fela in Broadway's Fela!), Jared McNeill (HBO's "We Are Who We Are," Battlefield at BAM) and Postell Pringle (Broadway's A Free Man of Color, FX's "Rescue Me").

Dance Performance | Ballet Hispanico (virtual)


Renowned Ballet Hispanico performs Graciela Daniele’s Stages.  “Graciela Daniele's Stages recounts the metamorphosis of a girl into ballerina, soloist, choreographer and artistic director. Set to an affecting and vibrant score by James Kowal, "Stages" is choreographic nostalgia that demonstrates Daniele's creative savvy and theatrical flair. Her experience on the Broadway stage informs the work's pacing and narrative. There are charming bits of whimsy - the little girl hoisted by her elders' barres; the adult ballerina disappointed in romance as two male dancers depart arm in arm - and animated episodes in classical and Latino realms. Toward the end, Daniele includes a cameo for Ramirez, who appears both as seasoned dancer and compassionate mentor.” – The Plain Dealer

Book Discussion | Names of New York: Discover the City's Past, Present, and Future with the Author (virtual)


In place-names lie stories. That's the truth that animates Joshua Jelly-Schapiro's journey through the names of New York City's streets and parks, boroughs and bridges, playgrounds and neighborhoods. Jelly-Schapiro traces the ways in which the native Lenape, Dutch settlers, British invaders, and successive waves of immigrants have left their marks on the city's map. He interviews the last living speakers of Lenape, visits the harbor's forgotten islands, lingers on street corners named for ballplayers and saints, and meets linguists who study the estimated 800 languages now spoken in New York.
