Jazz | Sound, Spirit, & Storytelling with Trumpeteer Art Blakey


Art Blakey's bandstand performs. The trumpet chair in Art Blakey (aka Buhaina) and the Jazz Messengers is one of the most demanding and transformative seats in jazz. Under Blakey's relentless swing and uncompromising leadership, generations of trumpeters were forged in sound, spirit, and storytelling. When Wynton Marsalis stepped into Buhaina's band in the early 1980s, he didn't simply join a group--he stepped into a lineage rooted in blues feeling, virtuosity, discipline, and deep respect for the art form. Hosted and curated by acclaimed trumpeter Bruce Harris, Buhaina's Hot Seat traces how the Jazz Messengers' trumpet tradition shaped hard bop, defined generations of musicians, and continues to influence today's jazz landscape. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon for all.

Play | Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet: Broadway & Film Actors in a Timeless Tale of Starcrossed Lovers (Sensory Adapted)


Never was there a story of more woe, or more romance, than the Bard’s timeless tale of two young lovers from warring families. As the Montagues and Capulets are torn apart by ideology and simmering violence spills into the streets of the border town of Verona, Romeo and Juliet dare to defy a world determined to keep them apart. In this bold new staging, the play unfolds in English, but Romeo and Juliet speak to one another in Spanish, a language reserved only for their shared world. Don’t miss this thrilling new production, essential viewing for lovers of Shakespeare, theater, and the enduring power of love itself.
