Book Discussion | New York Times-Featured Journalist Shares His New Book, The Elements of Power: A Story of War, Technology, and the Dirtiest Supply Chain on Earth (In Person AND Online!)
Author Nicolas Niarchos discusses his new book, The Elements of Power, which tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals—essential for the decarbonization of our economies—and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry. Book synopsis: With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.

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 Hernandez (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)

Gallery Talk | Photographer Disusses Her Exhibition Exploring the Possibility & Imposed Limitations of the American Landscape
Enjoy an artist talk exploring the processes and themes that make up Hannah Smith Allen's solo exhibition, On Broken Ground. On Broken Ground includes a selection of still photographs, unique screen prints, collage, and a video installation shown alongside Borderlands, an accordion book. Spanning recent works along with those made during Donald Trump’s first presidency, the exhibition explores the American landscape as a site of both possibility and imposed limitations. In dialogue with her collaged landscapes, several new screen prints juxtapose the border landscape with imagery from President Trump’s 250th Anniversary military parade, showcasing the underlying tension between the pageantry of power and the stillness of the desert. The exhibition also features a new iteration of Allen’s video installation, Dream States, which she originally exhibited in 2025. In this version, stop-motion animations that the artist originally captured via Google Earth are projected onto target stands and newspaper clippings. These hallucinatory sequences depict the sky between the United States and Mexico alongside digital revelations of a broken border wall.

Concert | Spontaneous & Deeply Attuned Musical Duo You-On Takes the Stage
Enjoy a musical performance by You-On, the debut collaboration between pianist, composer, and improviser Masami Tomihisa and drummer Jim White, celebrating the release of their first album, New Side. The name You-On combines two Japanese characters: asobu, meaning “to play” or “to have fun,” and on, meaning “sound.” Together, the duo creates music of striking intuition and otherworldly beauty. As heard on New Side, the interplay between Tomihisa and White is uncanny—an improvisational connection that feels both spontaneous and deeply attuned.

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)

Author Thomas F. Rzeznik tells the history of St. Vincent's Hospital -- which served the Greenwich Village community for over 160 years -- and reflects on the transformative impact of Catholic health care in New York City. Through the cholera epidemic of the mid-19th century, to the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, the sinking of the Titanic, the AIDS crisis, and the attacks of 9/11, the hospital was a testament to the vision and labor of the Sisters of Charity, who founded, staffed, and administered the hospital with remarkable skill and devotion.

Book Discussion | Brooklyn Museum & Coney Island Museum-Featured Artists Share Their New Book, Hysterical Coney Island
Attend the book launch for Hysterical Coney Island by visual artists Richard Eagan and Philomena Moreno. Hysterical Coney Island is a unique, personal story of how two artists and their colleagues made an impact on the cultural life of New York City, and helped pull America's great historic amusement beach out of a nosedive. It is a chronicle of a "handmade" time in the worlds of art and amusement that will never be seen again. The authors, both native Brooklyn visual artists, formed the Coney Island Hysterical Society in 1981 as a response to this community in crisis. In concert with Dick Zigun's Coney Island USA, the Hysterical Society struck a spark that would grow to become what historian Charles Denson calls "The Artists' Renaissance" in Coney Island. With contributions from playwright Harvey Fierstein, historian Richard Snow, and critic/curators Ann Aptaker and Aaron Beebe, Hysterical Coney Island is a personal account of the authors' years working in both Coney Island and in the studio-work that took on greater depth and resonance for having been seasoned in the daily life of Coney Island itself.

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)
