Moderated by Broadway producer and director Richard Jay-Alexander, the panel will talk about what led to their involvement and their experiences in the production, and working with Michael Bennett, the original director-choreographer.

Screening | Two Silent Films with Live Music Followed by Expert Q&A


THis event features two 16mm silent films with live piano accompaniment by Ben Model, one of the classic film world's leading silent film accompanists. Stay after the film screenings for a discussion and Q&A about the film with Ben Model and NYPL film specialist Elena Rossi-Snook. One film shown will be Love 'Em and Leave 'Em (1926), a comedy romance shot at Paramount's Astoria Studios (today known as Kaufman Astoria Studios), starring Evelyn Brent and Louise Brooks, in her first major film role. Brooks was a dancer in the Ziegfeld Follies before entering the movie industry in New York--today she is remembered as one of the great icons of the silent screen. Lawrence Gray and Osgood Perkins also star in the cast--all together they share scenes with Central Park and other iconic New York locations. The second film shown will be the comedy short Movie Night (1929), which opens the program. This Hal Roach film stars the often overlooked Charley Chase, an American actor, comedian, screenwriter and director, and is a look at family movie-going in the 1920s. This is an opportunity to see a rare film, which has never been released on video or digitally--with very few copies in existence.

Jazz | Guitar-Centric Quartet Performs at a Very Special Outdoors Venue


Emmanuel Michael is a New York City based artist who believes that without self-reflection and empathy towards himself and others, the foundation of what makes a truthful artist/human would crumble. These ideals have enabled Emmanuel to work with artists such as Billy Drummond, Bill Frisell, Terri Lyne Carrington, Chris "Daddy" Dave, Stokley, Dayna Stephens Gerald Clayton, Kendrick Scott, Marta Sanchez, Kweku Sumbry, Rashaan Carter, Curtis Nowosad, Savannah Harris, and more. Recent artistic endeavors by the Emmanuel Michael Group have included making their two-week long debut at the legendary Village Vanguard, playing with The Marcus Gilmore Sextet and recording a live album during their week long residency, as well as playing with the Dayna Stephens Quintet at The Village Vanguard the following week, making Emmanuel's debut at the Village Vanguard an immensely rare circumstance. Emmanuel is also a 2024 recipient of The Jazz Gallery's prestigious Residency Commission. Seating opens 30 minutes before showtime and is available on the grass or benches. Accessible seating is available. Please inform staff upon arrival if accommodations are needed.
