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


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)

Festival | Procession Celebrating the Festival of San Juan: Dancing & Singing


Attend a unique celebration of the Afro-Venezuelan tradition of honoring San Juan. Participate in a "walking procession": the collaborative ritual of dancing and singing to the beat of drums. The Festival of San Juan was originally a communal practice by enslaved people in the cocoa and coffee plantations in the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela. Though it has been celebrated in Venezuela for hundreds of years and celebrates the summer solstice and the birth of Saint John the Baptist, modern participation in San Juan often acts as a statement of self and pride. This recentering of San Juan in New York City is led by Willie Quintana, director of the Brooklyn musical collective Tambor y Cana. By bringing together historical touchstones, national affiliation, and personal identity, Tambor y Cana acts as a catalyst for a meaningful appreciation of and fresh engagement with Afro-Venezuelan culture.

Galleries | Artist Talk with MoMA Curator on the Visual Codes of Nationality


Enjoy a talk on the exhibition Anna Barlik: Flags of Non-Existent Countries, with artist Anna Barlik and Paula Vilaplana de Miguel, Curatorial Associate at MoMA. The artist’s new series lending title to the exhibition is a series of formal compositions that engage the visual codes of nationality while critically reinterpreting them. The starting point is the flag, as one of the most recognizable symbols of unity, identity and political belonging. In Barlik’s work, such order becomes destabilized — colors that are assigned to certain countries or places become re-ordered, deconstructured, and reconfigured, creating visual marks, or speculative emblems, for countries that have never existed. In these works, these colors are changed into softer and different - less obvious tones. By moving away from their usual forms, the works ask how symbols gain meaning and power, and encourage viewers to look again at ideas often seen as fixed or natural.

Dance Performance | Silence Is Still Our Best Chance: Contemporary Dance in a Gallery Space (+ Live Music)


A live performance of stillness, vibrations and movement. A performance of its own kind, in which contemporary dancer Sarka Benedova (CZ/NO) will create a movement work based on her research into stillness of the body and stillness of the city, developed for the gallery space. The choreography is an ongoing research and a reflection on inner dance, anchored in focused quietness and the effort and effortlessness of conscious movement at the smallest scale. The performance functions as a live extension of the artist's installation, Quiet Circle. She will be accompanied by musician and sound artist Atul Giri (IND/NO), who will add reflective layers of ambient music, silence, and occasional narration. Together, the performance highlights a shared language of stillness and silence.

Performance | If I Had a Gun I’d Take Them All Down: Multi-Media, Multi-Sensory Theater Experience Delving into Ukrainian Memory, Resistance, & Survival


If I Had a Gun I’d Take Them All Down confronts the long history of Russian oppression in Ukraine through a calculated collision of personal testimony, political history, and live performance. The piece unfolds as an intimate, unflinching walk through contemporary wartime Kyiv—examining both the physical architecture of a city under siege and a psychological landscape of memory, resistance, and survival. The narrative mirrors two distinct timelines: the history of Dmitry Bogrov, the anarchist who assassinated Russian Prime Minister Piotr Stolypin at the Kyiv Opera House in 1911, and the modern narration of Armianovski himself. On stage, the narrator retraces Armianovski’s and Bogrov’s steps through the capital, moving physically across a space transformed by Armianovski’s documentary video projections, which function as a living, cinematic archive.Enveloped in an immersive soundscape and original composition by Natan Kryszk, the production establishes a multi-sensory environment where acoustic and visual textures evoke collective memory. Through its seamless fusion of live staging, documentary cinema, and atmospheric sound and music, the stage becomes a volatile meeting point between two distinct realities: the relative safety of an American theater and a city living.   Written and with video by Piotr Armianovski. Director/co-creator Paul Bargetto. Performer/co-creator Michael Rubenfeld.

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


Never was there a story of more woe, or more romance, than the Bard’s timeless tale of two young lovers from warring families.

Don’t miss this thrilling new production, essential viewing for lovers of Shakespeare, theater, and the enduring power of love itself.

Film | D.W. Griffith's Orphans of the Storm (1921): Silent Melodrama


Lillian and Dorothy Gish star as the resourceful Henriette and the blind Louise, who leave their countryside home for Paris in the hopes of having Louise's sight restored. Spied by the lecherous Marquis de Praille, Henriette is abducted, and the women are tragically separated in a city on the brink of anarchy. With the help of a kind-hearted nobleman, Henriette endeavors to find the helpless Louise, but cruel fate repeatedly thwarts her efforts. Griffith exploits their heart-wrenching dilemma with masterful skill, crowning the drama with political intrigue, spectacle, and his usual degree of social moralizing (staunchly disclaiming any parallels between the French Revolution and recent waves of "bolshevism"), drawing the multi-layered epic to its white-knuckled climax outside the old city gates of Paris, beneath the gleam of the guillotine's scarlet blade. Director: D. W. Griffith Cast: Lillian Gish, Dorothy Gish D.W. Griffith was an American film director who was one of the most influential and controversial figures in the history of the motion picture. He pioneered many aspects of film editing and expanded the art of the narrative film. Today, he is primarily remembered for directing the controversial 1915 film Birth of a Nation.

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. The play examines the fragile balance between loyalty and ambition as a group of senators conspires to prevent a feared tyranny, only to unleash unrest and instability. As alliances fracture and public tensions rise, Shakespeare's exploration of power, persuasion, and responsibility unfolds with striking contemporary relevance. Note: The audience moves and follows the actors 5-6 times during the performance.

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)

Discussion | Film Scholar Discusses Sunset Boulevard for Its 75th Birthday


Enjoy a discussion on the making of Sunset Boulevard with author David M. Lubin and host Scott Adlerberg, film connoisseur. By exploring the history of Sunset Boulevard in time for the movie's 75th anniversary, from its inception to its making its present-day legacy, David M. Lubin's Ready for My Close-Up breathes life into a beloved masterpiece of American cinema, not only marking its influential place in film history, but also proving how prescient it really was in terms of the human costs of relentless technological change and our obsessive quest for fame, youth, and immortality. David M. Lubin has written seven books, including an in-depth study of the blockbuster film Titanic. His Shooting Kennedy: JFK and the Culture of Images won the Smithsonian Institution's Charles C. Eldredge Prize for "distinguished scholarship in American art." Scott Adlerberg is the author of five novels, including Graveyard Love, Jack Waters, and The Screaming Child. He has written many short stories and contributes pieces regularly to sites such as CrimeReads and Mystery Tribune.

Book Club | Discuss Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novel: Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver


Atend a book club to analyze and discuss Demon Copperhead  by Barbara Kingsolver. Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities.

Book Discussion | NYT Bestelling Authors Explore Cultural Heritage & Community Ties through Queer Storytelling (In Person AND Online!)


This Pride month, enjoy an evening of conversation about queer storytelling, featuring authors Jade Song, Zee Carlstrom, and Julián Delgado Lopera in dialogue with Jacob Aplaca.   Rather than treating queerness only as an identity category or secondary theme, these writers take queerness as a starting point for exploring cultural heritage and community ties. Centering novels like Song's Chlorine, Lopera's Fiebre Tropical, and Carlstrom's Make sure you die screaming, this conversation will consider how themes of political struggle, regional identity, and generational trauma take on new meaning when subject to the queer gaze of storytellers and readers alike. The panel will be followed by a live performance by Krystofer Maison, exploring queer stories in song!

Concert | Alt-Rock, Lo-Fi, & Indie Music in the Park (+ Music Panel Pre-Show Discussion)


Enjoy a concert from three different music groups: Black Country, New Road, Horsegirl, and Sharp Pins. Black Country, New Road is a sextet of classically trained musicians who've created a unique blend of jazz, math rock, and klezmer that turned the Brixton post-rock scene on its head even as live music took an extended pause during the pandemic. They're joined by Horsegirl, a New York-via-Chicago trio that takes musical cues from '90s alt rockers; their latest LP Phonetics On and On was produced by the eccentric Welsh artist Cate Le Bon. Rounding out the bill is Sharp Pins, the lo-fi power pop solo project from Kai Slater of the post-punk group Lifeguard, who hail from the same youthful Chicago rock scene that produced Horsegirl, formed while they were still in high school. 4:00 PM PRE-SHOW PANEL: WHAT DOES "INDIE" MEAN TODAY?

Book Club | New York Times Writer Shares His New Book, Dining Out: First Dates, Defiant Nights, and Last Call Disco Fries at America's Gay Restaurants (In Person AND Online!)


In this conversation about Dining Out: First Dates, Defiant Nights, and Last Call Disco Fries at America's Gay Restaurants, author Erik Piepenburg takes attendees on a culinary tour of spaces filled with joy, sex, sorrow, activism, and nostalgia, joined by colleagues from the food world: Telly Justice, Camille Lindsley, and Florent Morellet. Dining Out explores how gay people came of age, came out, and fought for their rights not just in gay bars or the streets, but in restaurants. From cruisy urban cafeterias of the 1920s to mom-and-pop diners that fed the Stonewall generation to the intersectional hotspots of the early 21st century. Using archival material, original reporting, interviews, and first-person accounts, Erik Piepenburg explores how LGBTQ restaurants shaped and continue to shape generations of gay Americans.

This event is a full-day celebration of the life and work of Joan Braderman.

Mingle with other art lovers and celebrate the new exhibition: Certainly an Act: Works on Paper. Certainly an Act brings together more than two-hundred works by William Pope.L--many never before publicly exhibited--ranging from the early 1980s to the artist's final years. Drawn primarily from the artist's estate, the exhibition also encompasses drawing-based films, writings, archival materials, and audio drawings. Together, these works argue for a practice in which drawing was neither preparatory nor peripheral, but was a central, expansive, and generative aspect of Pope.L's work.

Two employees at a department store can barely stand each other, without realizing that they are falling in love through the post as each other's anonymous pen pal. Director: Ernst Lubitsch Cast: Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart, Frank Morgan, Joseph Schildkraut James Stewart was an American actor known for his distinctive drawl and everyman screen persona. Stewart's film career spanned 80 films from 1935 to 1991. With the strong morality, which he portrayed both on and off the screen, he epitomized the "American ideal" in the mid-twentieth century. In 1999, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked him third on its list of the greatest American male actors. He received numerous honors including the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1980, the Kennedy Center Honor in 1983, as well as the Academy Honorary Award and Presidential Medal of Freedom, both in 1985.

Discussion | Book Launch Exploring NYC in the 20s: Hidden Hsitories of Jazz Age New York, From the Suppressed to the Strange


Enjoy a book talk with author Jonathan Ezra Goldman (Professor in the Humanities Department at New York Institute of Technology) as he discusses his new book, Hidden Histories of Jazz Age New York: From the Suppressed to the Strange. Hidden Histories of Jazz Age New York offers a fresh look at 1920s New York City, unearthing stories of everyday life and marginalized communities. In sections that intertwine entertainment, politics, art, technology, crime, shopping, eating, and recreation, the book portrays sweeping events such as the Harlem Renaissance, Prohibition, and immigration reform through anecdotes of individual experiences that counter the era's popular conceptions of ballooning wealth and uproarious celebration. This whirlwind tour of early 1920s New York City visits an all-female police platoon, a Black amusement park shut down before it opened, socialist Puerto Rican cigar factories, Chinatown funerals, overcrowded jails, toxic dumps, and Ku Klux Klan recruitment offices. Along the way you'll meet Greenwich Village denizens such as Khalil Gibran, and his Arabic literary salon, and Eve Adams, and the lesbian cafe she ran in the neighborhood. This is the backdrop to the everyday challenges and triumphs of a city beset by crowds, automobile traffic, and rapidly changing technology and urban infrastructure, as well as erased stories of injustices like Jim Crow practices, immigration anxieties, and the violent treatment of political dissent.

Performance | ORLANDO TRIP: Multi-Disciplinary Mythic Performance "with a Hypnotic Aura"


Experience ORLANDO TRIP, a genre-defying performing arts concert by Vienna-based collective Fox On Ice that reimagines the mythical figure of Orlando through music, spoken performance, film, and visual storytelling. Paying tribute to Ludovico Ariosto and Virginia Woolf, the production explores fluidity, transformation, and the crossing of borders through a contemporary European lens. Part concert, part spoken performance, part cinematic experience, ORLANDO TRIP unfolds through twelve songs, intermezzi, and videos that trace the journey of Orlando -- knight, traveler, ambassador, and nomadic conqueror of rigid identities. Seamlessly blending stage and film, music and literature, Fox On Ice creates an immersive world where humans and landscapes, masculinity and femininity, reality and myth continuously transform into one another. Described by critics as "a performance with a hypnotic aura" and "a successful mix of elegance and opulence," ORLANDO TRIP offers sensual access to a European myth centered on fluidity and the feminine art of transformation. The internationally acclaimed production has been presented at theaters and festivals across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia.

Talk | Literary Scholar Explores Walt Whitman's Sexuality: Was He a Gay Icon? (In Person AND Online!)


In celebration of Pride Month, esteemed scholar Karen Karbiener hosts a presentation on Walt Whitman's status as a gay icon. Was our celebrated "Bard of Democracy" queer? Despite nearly two centuries of efforts by censors, scholars, and others to heterosexualize Walt Whitman— create progeny, convert female friends to lovers, manipulate his pronouns—the truth remains that America’s poet was also its first gay spokesperson and activist. Karbiener explores the many ways Whitman asserted that he was gay, and the many ways that others have denied it.

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.

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)

Lecture | How To Produce the Best Photography Prints


This lecture, given by fine art photographer Douglas Dubler, will cover all of the basic color management steps necessary to get from a properly exposed capture to a custom fine art digital print. Most importantly, he will be displaying fine art digital prints produced according to his proprietary printing workflow. Some of the topics covered will be proper setup of your camera, calibrating your monitor, and custom printing profiles. As critical or maybe more so, is the quality of 'light', which will be covered in detail. All of this is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's mantra, "To See Things Unseen".

Talk | Artist Sheila Pope DIscusses Received Knowledge, Opinions, & Taste


Enjoy a talk with Sheila Pepe, who is best known for crocheting her large-scale, ephemeral installations and sculptures made from domestic and industrial materials.  For more than 30 years, she has accumulated a family resemblance (see Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations) of works in sculpture—installation—drawing, and other singular and hybrid forms. Some are drawings that are sculpture—or sculpture that is furniture, fiber works that appear as paintings, and table top objects that look like models for monuments, and stand as votives for a secular religion. The cultural sources and the meanings twisted together are from canonical arts of the 20th century, home crafts, lesbian, queer, and feminist aesthetics, 2nd Vatican Council American design, an array of Roman Catholic sources, as well as their ancient precedents. The constant conceptual pursuit of Pepe’s research, making, teaching, and writing has been to contest received knowledge, opinions, and taste.

Bow Echo, created by Bessie Award-winning choreographer Anna Sperber, is a work for four dancers, who move as both individuals and ensemble, continually shaping and reshaping the space between them. Oversized sculptural elements--including flags, bells, and panels of marley--become extensions of the choreography, generating sound and forming striking visual architectures. Set in an open-air environment, Bow Echo expands beyond the stage, merging body, object, and atmosphere into a living field of resonance--where movement becomes structure, and structure becomes echo.

Dance Performance | Four Dancers. Sculptural Objects. One Unforgettable Performance


Bow Echo, created by Bessie Award-winning choreographer Anna Sperber, is a work for four dancers, who move as both individuals and ensemble, continually shaping and reshaping the space between them. Oversized sculptural elements--including flags, bells, and panels of marley--become extensions of the choreography, generating sound and forming striking visual architectures. Set in an open-air environment, Bow Echo expands beyond the stage, merging body, object, and atmosphere into a living field of resonance--where movement becomes structure, and structure becomes echo.

Jazz | Carnegie Hall & Loncoln Center Musician Performs Cross-Cultural Saxophone Tunes


Composer, saxophonist, and singer Stephanie Chou creates an original sound that bridges her Chinese heritage with Western jazz and pop. A performer whose music sparks immediate cross-cultural connection, Chou has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Joe's Pub, City Winery, and jazz festivals across the U.S. and Asia. Her acclaimed albums include Prime Knot and Asymptote, which reimagine classic Chinese folk songs through a jazz lens, as well as Comfort Girl, a song-cycle inspired by the true stories of Asian women abducted into sexual slavery during World War II.

Akram Khan Company presents the U.S. premiere of Thikra: Night of Remembering. Thikra, meaning 'memory' or 'recollection' in Arabic, is deeply rooted in the power of rituals.

Imagined as an annual gathering, a tribe of women come together for one night only to awaken the spirits of those who came before them. Through ceremony and shared remembrance, they transcend time, uniting past and present in a profound act of renewal.

Live music accompanied by spectacular sunsets over the Hudson River. Wayne Tucker and the Bad Mothas perform energetic, improvisational jazz. Wayne Tucker is a trumpeter, composer, arranger, violinist, vocalist, actor, and model who has released 5 albums under his name and performs regularly with his band, The Bad Mothas. Wayne has toured and recorded with a diverse array of notables such as jazz musicians Kurt Elling, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Cyrille Aimee; pop acts Taylor Swift, David Crosby, Elvis Costello; R&B singers Ne-Yo and Gabriel Garzon-Montano; hip hop artists Jidenna and Ryan Leslie; and more. This diversity is represented in The Bad Mothas' energetic sound, where the American Songbook gets a welcome update, including selections by Michael Jackson or Earth Wind & Fire. Tenor saxophonist Miles Tucker holds a lean, mean counterpoint to Wayne's gentle affability on trumpet. Drummer Diego Joaquin Ramirez and bassist Tamir Shmerling provide solid underpinning, which accommodates a varied cast of pianists, most notably the gospel-influenced Willerm Delisfort. The group was featured in the New York Times for its steady schedule of street performances during the 2020 shutdown, representing New York City's infamous grit.

Film | What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962): Psychological Thriller with Bette Davis and Joan Crawford

Screening | Born to Fly: Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity (2014) -- Documentary on Gravity-Defying Choreographer (Outdoors)


Experience extreme athleticism with a virtuoso of motion, as choreographer Elizabeth Streb proves that contemporary dance can be action-oriented and explosive, while still remaining as graceful and captivating as ballet. The documentary BORN TO FLY: Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity is the story of the groundbreaking artist sometimes called "the Evel Knievel of dance." Streb's athletic dancers are part gymnast, part acrobat, and part extreme thrill seeker--walking on walls, diving through glass, and moving so fast they seem to fly. The film culminates as Streb and her dancers prepare and present gravity-defying performances as part of London's Cultural Olympiad leading up to the 2012 Olympics. Directed by Catherine Gund.

Classical Music | Musicians & Artists Discuss the Athleticism of Creating Art (+ Orchestral Performance)


Erin Lunsford Norton (Associate Director, Classical Programming), Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center musicians, and guest artists present an inside look at the lives of orchestral musicians and insights on the evening's concert program.

And how can disability impact how musicians and composers engage with their craft? These questions and more will be answered in this insightful discussion.

Performance | A Pot of Broth: Farcical One-Act Play by W.B. Yeats


We imagine a poor cottage in the west of Ireland. A tramp enters and searches for food, talking to himself. In come the voices of a bickering husband and wife and a squawking chicken. When they enter to discuss the dinner that must be provided for the priest that evening, their gullibility creates the ironic conclusion to this version of the stone soup motif. Written by W.B. Yeats. Directed by Alison Armstrong.

There are an infinite number of small things all around us that make fascinating photographic subjects. The techniques necessary to make great images of diminutive subjects are somewhat different from those for conventional photography. Using scores of great photographs, you'll learn about close-up filters, extension tubes, and macro lenses; how camera types affect your technique and results; how to handle what becomes very limited depth-of-field; proper methods for the tricky aspects of close-up focusing; and even some suggestions as to what you might photograph (sure, lots of examples of bugs and flowers, too).

Screening | 155th Birthday Celebration of Marcel Proust, one of the most influential novelists of the 20th century


The celebration will include screening of the documentary of Marcel Proust: A Writer's Life (1993) - a film about the life and work of Marcel Proust with emphasis on his struggle to realize the 3,000 page masterpiece Remembrance of Things Past (A la recherche du temps perdu). Includes archival film footage. Book discussion follows. Alongside figures such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Franz Kafka, Proust shifted literature toward subjective experience. Proust's biggest innovation may actually be his treatment of memory--especially what he called "involuntary memory". In Remembrance of Things Past (known as well as In Search of Lost Time), time is not a simple chronological sequence, past and present constantly interact through memory. This approach influenced countless later writers. The documentary is directed by Sarah Mondale.

Come on down and swing along to the best ragtime, stride, and jazz the Big Apple has to offer, with musician Armen Donelian. “Those who still believe that jazz is a down-and-dirty genre of music must cast their ears toward Armen Donelian, who, with his original music and arrangements of the scores of others, brings a serene sense of dignity and elegance to every measure.”  - The Berkshire Eagle An eclectic musician of Armenian origin,  Armen Donelian has appeared internationally as a pianist, composer, and bandleader since 1975. His piano playing reveals a masterful command rooted in classical and jazz studies, clean articulation, a deft swinging touch, access to a broad dynamic spectrum, a virtuosic harmonic vocabulary, and a boundless source of creative ideas.

Poetry Reading | Poetry Salon: Decolonial & Ecofeminist Poet Cecilia Vicuña (+ Live Music& Poet Interview) (In Person AND Online!)


This World Poetry Salon event encourages attendees to experience words and music from around the globe. Each event features readings by a celebrated poet set to live music by a musician of the same cultural background. This salon will feature a reading by poet Cecilia Vicuña accompanied by musician Ricardo Gallo. A printout will be available for attendees to follow along with Vicuña's poetry during the reading. Following the reading, Vicuña will be interviewed by event host Patricio Ferrari.  Cecilia Vicuña's poetic work in space, performance, and visual arts is considered a decolonizing vision that anticipates ecofeminism. She created the autonomous concept of "Precarious Art" in the mid-1960s in Chile to name what disappears. “Arte Precario” stands as a new independent and non-colonized category for her precarious works composed of structures that disappear in the landscape, which include her quipus (knot in Quechua), envisioned as poems in space. Vicuña has re-invented the ancient Pre-Columbian quipu system of non-writing with knots through ritual acts that weave the urban landscape, rivers and oceans, as well as people, to re-construct a sense of unity and awareness of interconnectivity. These works bridge art and poetry as a way of “hearing an ancient silence waiting to be heard.” Born in Bogotá, Colombia and based in New York, composer Ricardo Gallo has written for acoustic and electro-acoustic formats, for short films, videos, dance, installations, and multimedia stage productions, and has performed and written for improvisatory groups.

Classical Music | Dvorak's American Quartet & More Celebrating "Uniquely American" Music


Performers from the Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center perform an evening of classical music in honor of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. A string quartet led by Concertmaster Ruggero Allifranchini, violin, and featuring Laura Frautschi, violin, Shmuel Katz, viola, and Ilya Finkelshteyn, cello, performs Still Singing, the second string quartet from Jazz at Lincoln Center's own Wynton Marsalis. This signature work captures Marsalis's joyful embrace of American music traditions, from jazz to blues, and classical to funk. The quartet also plays Dvorak's String Quartet No. 12 in F major, better known as the American quartet. As an immigrant artist living in New York in 1893, Dvorak famously predicted that a "great and noble school" of uniquely American music would spring from the nation's "negro melodies." In keeping with his prognostication, Dvorak's American quartet evokes the panoply of sounds that enlivened American music at the turn of the 20th century, with notable influence from Black spirituals and other contemporary folk music of the time. 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.

Discussion | Arts, Wellness, & Policy Experts Discuss How Artistic Engagement Contributes to Wellbeing (+ Live String Quartet Music)


Against the backdrop of the world's celebration of soccer, this conversation explores how creativity can be understood as a health-creating behavior alongside physical activity, supporting not only individual wellbeing, but the health of our cities. While sport and exercise are widely recognized for protecting physical and mental health, growing evidence shows that engagement in music, dance, storytelling, and the visual arts also strengthens stress regulation, emotional wellbeing, social connection, and community resilience. Bringing together voices from the arts, sports, public health, and policy, this event examines how creative participation can advance World Health Organization (WHO) global health targets while aligning with New York City's priorities around prevention, equity, and neighborhood-level wellbeing. The conversation highlights how arts engagement can support mental health, reduce health disparities, and foster the social cohesion that underpins healthy, thriving communities. This event will begin with members of the Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center playing a selection from Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel's String Quartet in E-flat major.

Dancing | Salsa-Soul Hits with "King of Latin Soul"


Joe Bataan performs an evening of classic hits. Born and raised in El Barrio, Bataan was among the pioneers of Latin soul and boogaloo music--which fused Latine and Caribbean sounds with soul and R&B--in the mid 1960s. After leaving Fania, Bataan helped coin the phrase "salsoul" and recorded multiple salsa-soul records for the Salsoul record label; his releases from this period remain classics of a crossover genre and also include early rap songs such as "Rap-O Clap-O."

Performance | Pele & the Beautiful Game: Musical Storytelling Experience Based on Soccer Legend's Journey


In 1950, Brazil was handed a crushing soccer defeat at the biggest game of the season. The impact of that loss drove a talented 10-year-old, Pelé, to vow to join the national team and regain his country’s honor. Eight years later, he fulfilled that promise. Four years after that, his team did it again in 1962. In 1970, after Pelé's retirement, a violent dictatorship all but forced him back into the game, cementing the sportsman’s legend. He is, to this day, the only player to win three international championships. Creator Daniel J. Watts was a friend of Pelé’s, and in this musical storytelling experience, he shares the athlete’s journey from victory to disappointment, from pain to culminating triumph. Written and performed by Daniel J. Watts.

Book Club | Sapphic Book Club -- Lesbian Love Story: A Memoir in Archives by Amelia Possanza


At this event, attendees come ready to discuss, rant, and rave with other sapphic book lovers! This discussion will center around Lesbian Love Story: A Memoir in Archives by Amelia Possanza. Synopsis: When the author moved to Brooklyn to build a life of her own, she found herself surrounded by queer stories: she read them on landmark placards, overheard them on the pool deck when she joined the world's largest LGBTQ swim team, and even watched them on TV in her cockroach-infested apartment. These stories inspired her to seek out lesbians throughout history who could become her role models, in romance and in life. Centered around seven love stories for the ages, this is the writer's journey into the archives to recover the personal histories of lesbians in the twentieth century: who they were, how they loved, why their stories were destroyed, and where their memories echo and live on. *The term “Sapphic” comes from Sappho, the ancient Greek poet from the island of Lesbos (where we get the word “lesbian!”). Organizers use it here as an umbrella term to refer to women/nonbinary/genderqueer folks who experience attraction to others in that umbrella. All are welcome!

Film | All About Eve (1950): Classic Drama Film with Bette Davis & Marylin Monroe


An aspiring actress feigns humility and naivete to connive her way under the wing of a veteran Broadway star. She manipulates those in the star's circle in hopes of cheating her way to the top. Based on the short story "The Wisdom of Eve" by Mary Orr. Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz Cast: Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe, Thelma Ritter, Marilyn Monroe Bette Davis was an American actress of film, television, and theater. She's considered one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood history, often playing unsympathetic, sardonic characters, and her performances in a range of film genres, although her greatest successes were her roles in romantic dramas. Over the course of her career, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress twice, was the first person to accrue ten Academy Award nominations (and one write-in) for acting, and was the first woman to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. In 1999, Davis was placed second on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema. Marilyn Monroe was an American actress and model, often considered the face of Hollywood's Golden Age. She was often cast as comic "blonde bombshell" character roles. During her lifetime, her films grossed $200 million (~$2 billion in 2025). She won many awards, including a Golden Globe, and received even more nominations.

City Hall is a designated New York City landmark, and its rotunda is also a designated interior landmark. Note: When registering, choose the "Individual Tour" option.

Museums | Journeying through Exhibition on USA's Founding Ideas & Exploring New York's Maritime Traditions


An exclusive tour of this maritime museum’s special exhibition marking America’s 250th birthday, The Promise of Liberty. This exhibition tour is a journey through the nation’s founding ideas—tracing how they have evolved through rare defining documents and pivotal moments in history. Throughout the gallery, you encounter some of the nation’s most iconic 18th-century documents, including the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Alongside these are exceptional handwritten pages from an undelivered inaugural address by George Washington, as well as remarkable 19th and 20th-century treasures such as the Emancipation Proclamation and an advance copy of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “March on Washington” speech.  You'll also have a chance to explore parts of the Museum’s ongoing exhibition, Maritime City, which highlights how New York City, as we know it today, arose from the sea. As you walk through the exhibition, you will discover how the waterways, people, and industries of the Greater New York area—including Greenwich Village Hudson River waterfront—led to the creation of a truly diverse city. Light refreshments will be offered after the exhibition tour.

Film | Frank Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939): Political Comedy-Drama with James Stewart


A naive youth leader is appointed to fill a vacancy in the U.S. Senate. His idealistic plans promptly collide with corruption at home and subterfuge from his hero in Washington, but he tries to forge ahead despite attacks on his character. Director: Frank Capra Cast: Jean Arthur, James Stewart, Claude Rains, Edward Arnold, Guy Kibbee, Thomas Mitchell, Beulah Bondi Frank Capra was an Italian-American film director, producer, and screenwriter who was the creative force behind several major award-winning films of the 1930s and 1940s. Born in Italy and raised in Los Angeles from the age of five, his rags-to-riches story has led film historians such as Ian Freer to consider him the "American Dream personified". Capra became one of America's most influential directors during the 1930s, winning three Academy Awards for Best Director from six nominations. James Stewart was an American actor known for his distinctive drawl and everyman screen persona. Stewart's film career spanned 80 films from 1935 to 1991. With the strong morality, which he portrayed both on and off the screen, he epitomized the "American ideal" in the mid-twentieth century. In 1999, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked him third on its list of the greatest American male actors. He received numerous honors, including the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1980, the Kennedy Center Honor in 1983, as well as the Academy Honorary Award and Presidential Medal of Freedom, both in 1985.

Film | The Elephant Man (1980): Biographical Drama from David Lynch


A Victorian surgeon rescues a heavily disfigured man who is mistreated as a side-show freak. Behind his façade, there is revealed a person of kindness, intelligence and sophistication. Director: David Lynch Cast: Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt, Anne Bancroft, Freddie Jones, John Gielgud David Lynch was an American filmmaker, visual artist, musician, and actor. Considered one of the most important filmmakers of his era, Lynch was often called a "visionary" and was acclaimed for films often distinguished by their surrealist and experimental qualities. In a career spanning more than five decades, he received numerous accolades, including an Honorary Academy Award in 2019. The adjective Lynchian came into use to describe works or situations reminiscent of his art, with the Oxford English Dictionary noting his penchant for "juxtaposing surreal or sinister elements with mundane, everyday environments, and for using compelling visual images to emphasize a dreamlike quality of mystery or menace."

Screening | Red Flag of the Future: Political Puppet Opera Film


Mixed media artist Gaylia Wagner created a cast of 20 puppets to enact the dream scenes in a filmed version of a new opera. The puppets are made of found and repurposed objects and trash — food containers, soap bottles, tape, paint, and more. The film presents an original opera setting and a new translation of Masse Mensch, a seven-scene play by antifascist playwright Ernst Toller, written over 100 years ago while he was a political prisoner.
