Play | A Picture of Autumn: Comedy, "the echoes of Chekhov are unmistakable" (virtual, streaming for 24 hours)


A Picture of Autumn made its debut on February 11, 1951 in a one-night 'try-out' performance presented by the Repertory Players, at the Duke of York's Theatre on London's West End. Despite promising reviews, the play was never picked up. Instead, N.C. Hunter enjoyed great success with his plays Waters of the Moon, A Day by the Sea and A Touch of the Sun, which dominated the West End throughout the fifties. Meanwhile, A Picture of Autumn gathered dust until this acclaimed production--the play's first in over 60 years. The streaming will be available until Jun 13th. By N.C. Hunter Directed by Gus Kaikkonen

Talk | Stories Survive: Ivan Vamos, Holocaust Survivor (virtual)


Ivan Vamos was born in March 1938 in Budapest, Hungary, nearly the same day that German troops marched into neighboring Austria.  After Ivan’s father was killed and his grandfather was badly beaten, his mother, who was a professional photographer, arranged false papers for Ivan and herself and took him into hiding in the Hungarian countryside. A year later, she and Ivan walked back to Budapest and found refuge in a crowded apartment—a “protected house” like those established by Raoul Wallenberg. When German forces occupied Hungary, Ivan and his mother escaped once again—this time to a bombed-out apartment house in Budapest, where they hid in smoldering ruins until liberation in 1945.

Author Reading | Queer Love in Color: Photographs and Stories (virtual)


A former New York Times multimedia journalist shares his photographic celebration of the love and relationships of queer people of color. In 2018, Jamal Jordan wrote in The New York Times, "As a visual journalist, I believe pictures can connect with people in a way that other forms of media can't. To this end, I decided to give a gift to my younger self: the imagery of queer love I've never seen. Queer love in color." Jordan expanded that vision into his new book, which offers an intimate look at what it means to live at the intersections of queer and POC identities today, and honors an inclusive vision of love, affection, and family across the spectrum of gender, race, and age. Featuring photographs and stories of couples and families across the United States and around the world, the collection shows the world "what true love looks like."
