Film | Live By Night (2016): Action Drama Starring Ben Affleck
Taking fatherly advice is not in Joe Coughlin's nature. Instead, the WWI vet is a selfproclaimed anti-establishment outlaw, despite being the son of the Boston Police Deputy Superintendent. Joe's not all bad, though; in fact, he's not really bad enough for the life he's chosen. Unlike the gangsters he refuses to work for, he has a sense of justice and an open heart, and both work against him, leaving him vulnerable time and again--in business and in love. Director: Ben Affleck Cast: Ben Affleck, Elle Fanning, Brendan Gleeson, Chris Messina, Sienna Miller, Zoe Saldana, Chris Cooper Ben Affleck is an American actor and filmmaker who gained wide recognition when he and Matt Damon won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for writing Good Will Hunting (1997), which they also starred in. He established himself as a leading man in studio films. His accolades include two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, and three Golden Globes.

Opening Reception | In a Free State: Multi-Media Group Exhibition on This "Fraught Moment"
Experience the group exhibition, In a Free State, which brings together artworks by twenty-two artists working across media. For this exhibition, curators drew from their circle of close friends, connected with artists we have long admired, and reached out to younger voices that they are excited about. They looked for work that somehow gave them insight into this fraught moment, where the structures of trust—from the interpersonal to the political—have collapsed. Although the works in the exhibition were not all created in response to or during this precarious moment, each of them, and the practices that surround them, felt to the curators as a viable way to visualize and contend with a chaotic and alienating time. The breadth of this presentation channels the lyricism and poetry of painting, as well as a labyrinth of objects, curious textures, and moving images. Dark deities and monolithic figures coexist with urgent calls to action in a post-apocalyptic circuitry of politics and art. Earthy materials masquerade as protective metallic shells, and a search for power and sensuality ends in bodies pushed beyond the limit. The stakes for each artist in the show are different—some work in close proximity to war, some have families living in regions marked by upheaval and displacement, some are citizens in opposition to their governments, and some engage with the high costs of coping in a turbulent society—yet they all made us understand some aspect about the impossibility of this time. Running through the show are threads of absurd humor and morbid imagery, but inside these critical views of our human condition are sensorial wishes for things to be different, and a belief in our ability to imagine through making.

Opening Reception | Metamorphosis: Solo Painting Exhibition Exploring Spontaneous Visions
Metamorphosis is an exhibition of Farah Atassi’s new body of work. Across these eight paintings, transformed forms abound, deconstructed through a liberation of mind and brushstroke. Each work represents a dream, distinct, spontaneous visions tied delicately together through shared preoccupations and formal choices. Clouds act as guides, leading the eye from one canvas to the next. In the verdant still life The Pears and the Clouds, they take a rest, improbably set on tables like any other sundry item. Atassi is interested in the ambiguous materiality of clouds and their fluctuating nature, as well as compositional hierarchies. Long relegated to the background of paintings, she recast clouds as central characters.

His compositions and arrangements are shaped by a love for storytelling and world traditions — particularly Argentine, Spanish, and Caribbean folk, jazz improvisation, Americana, and cinematic textures.

Play | Thank You Ryan for a Clean Microwave: Absurd Realist Play on Deaf Identity (with ASL & Open Captioning)

Concert | NASA Artist-in-Residence Laurie Anderson Performs with Sexmob Jazz Quartet in the Park
Enjoy a concert from Laurie Anderson, who is best known as an early pioneer of electronic music, but her wildly diverse catalog of ambitious multimedia projects encompasses not only music but film, visual projections, dance, and spoken and written word. She holds a number of honorary doctorates, and in 2002, was appointed the first artist-in-residence of NASA. Her latest album, Amelia, released in 2024, comprises 22 tracks about the aviator Amelia Earhart's tragic last flight. "Republic of Love" is a collection of songs and stories about the current state of America, with some history thrown in. Backed by Sexmob, an instrumental jazz quartet that emerged from the Knitting Factory scene in the mid-'90s and known for raw improvisation and inventive arrangements, Anderson's performance also features the words and thoughts of many Americans, such as Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, John Cage, Gertrude Stein, William S. Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg. Anderson herself calls the work "a celebration of freedom."

Play | Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet: Broadway & Film Actors in a Timeless Tale of Starcrossed Lovers
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. Written by William Shakespeare Directed by Saheem Ali Cast: Ra'Mya Latiah Aikens, Sergio Mauritz Ang (TV: Crutch, Law & Order: SVU), Daniel Bravo Hernández (Broadway: Romeo + Juliet), Reece dos Santos, Caleb Joshua Eberhardt (Broadway: An Enemy of the People, Choir Boy), Glenn Fleshler (Broadway: Good Night, and Good Luck, Death of a Salesman, Arcadia, Guys and Dolls, Spring Awakening; Film: Joker, A Most Violent Year; TV: Billions, Barry, True Detective, Boardwalk Empire), Francis Jue (Tony, Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel, and Obie Awards for Yellow Face)

Play | Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet: Broadway & Film Actors in a Timeless Tale of Starcrossed Lovers
Never was there a story of more woe, or more romance, than the Bard’s timeless tale of two young lovers from warring families.

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. Written by William Shakespeare Directed by Saheem Ali Cast: Ra'Mya Latiah Aikens, Sergio Mauritz Ang (TV: Crutch, Law & Order: SVU), Daniel Bravo Hernández (Broadway: Romeo + Juliet), Reece dos Santos, Caleb Joshua Eberhardt (Broadway: An Enemy of the People, Choir Boy), Glenn Fleshler (Broadway: Good Night, and Good Luck, Death of a Salesman, Arcadia, Guys and Dolls, Spring Awakening; Film: Joker, A Most Violent Year; TV: Billions, Barry, True Detective, Boardwalk Empire), Francis Jue (Tony, Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel, and Obie Awards for Yellow Face)

Jazz | New Orleans-Inspired Jazz with Unmistakable Swing
The youngest son of piano and jazz luminary Ellis Marsalis, Jr., Jason Marsalis carries forward one of jazz's most extraordinary family legacies. Equally acclaimed as both a drummer and vibraphonist, Jason brings his deep musicality and unmistakable swing to a heartfelt celebration of his father's music, alongside the works of James Black, Alvin Batiste, and Harold Battiste. Joined by his quartet, he honors the elegant compositions and New Orleans spirit of these composers--music that profoundly shaped his brother Wynton Marsalis and the family's approach to jazz. This performance offers a rare opportunity to hear this rich musical lineage brought to life by an artist who grew up inside its sound. 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 Julius Caesar Live in the Park
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, directed by Stephen Burdman, is presented outdoors in a free, open-air production.

Play | Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet: Broadway & Film Actors in a Timeless Tale of Starcrossed Lovers
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. Written by William Shakespeare Directed by Saheem Ali Cast: Ra'Mya Latiah Aikens, Sergio Mauritz Ang (TV: Crutch, Law & Order: SVU), Daniel Bravo Hernández (Broadway: Romeo + Juliet), Reece dos Santos, Caleb Joshua Eberhardt (Broadway: An Enemy of the People, Choir Boy), Glenn Fleshler (Broadway: Good Night, and Good Luck, Death of a Salesman, Arcadia, Guys and Dolls, Spring Awakening; Film: Joker, A Most Violent Year; TV: Billions, Barry, True Detective, Boardwalk Empire), Francis Jue (Tony, Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel, and Obie Awards for Yellow Face)
