SUMMARY:Teatro La Plaza's Hamlet
DESCRIPTION:“★★★★★ Brilliant …This infectiously exuberant production serves as a reminder that Shakespeare is accessible to all\, and Hamlet is for everyone” The Telegraph \n“A performance like none I’ve ever witnessed during my 30-plus years of writing about entertainment and arts and culture … the complete definition of theatre for the mind\, spirit\, soul and imagination … The troupe delivers an all-encompassing crossover narrative that penetrates the heart.” The Chicago Tribune \n“★★★★★ “The ferocious\, left‑field freshness of its approach… shaken up\, translated\, fragmented\, relived and reconstructed in spectacular style … offering a non‑stop feast of new insights … the show still ends with an exhilarated audience leaping up to dance onstage with the company; thrilled by the joy\, the irreverence\, the profound insight\, and the deep sense of human solidarity”  The Scotsman \nIn this brilliant\, funny\, and moving adaptation\, Peruvian director Chela De Ferrari intertwines the text of Shakespeare’s Hamlet with the lived experiences of a young ensemble of eight actors with Down syndrome. With wry humor\, playful energy\, pop music\, and pointed critique\, the performers confront the play’s timeless themes—grief\, revenge\, and existence—with striking honesty and insight. Drawing resonant parallels between Shakespeare’s Denmark and our contemporary world\, they offer a vision of a more just and joyful imagined future.

SUMMARY:Teatro La Plaza's Hamlet
DESCRIPTION:“★★★★★ Brilliant …This infectiously exuberant production serves as a reminder that Shakespeare is accessible to all\, and Hamlet is for everyone” The Telegraph \n“A performance like none I’ve ever witnessed during my 30-plus years of writing about entertainment and arts and culture … the complete definition of theatre for the mind\, spirit\, soul and imagination … The troupe delivers an all-encompassing crossover narrative that penetrates the heart.” The Chicago Tribune \n“★★★★★ “The ferocious\, left‑field freshness of its approach… shaken up\, translated\, fragmented\, relived and reconstructed in spectacular style … offering a non‑stop feast of new insights … the show still ends with an exhilarated audience leaping up to dance onstage with the company; thrilled by the joy\, the irreverence\, the profound insight\, and the deep sense of human solidarity”  The Scotsman \nIn this brilliant\, funny\, and moving adaptation\, Peruvian director Chela De Ferrari intertwines the text of Shakespeare’s Hamlet with the lived experiences of a young ensemble of eight actors with Down syndrome. With wry humor\, playful energy\, pop music\, and pointed critique\, the performers confront the play’s timeless themes—grief\, revenge\, and existence—with striking honesty and insight. Drawing resonant parallels between Shakespeare’s Denmark and our contemporary world\, they offer a vision of a more just and joyful imagined future.

SUMMARY:The Center for Fiction Presents Louise Erdrich on 'Python's Kiss' with Lauren Groff
DESCRIPTION:Join The Center for Fiction for a virtual discussion with beloved Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich on her new short-story collection\, Python’s Kiss. \nIn Python’s Kiss\, one of America’s most significant authors explores the connections between humans\, animals\, and the environment in her first short fiction anthology since 2009. Written over the last two decades\, Python’s Kiss features an incredible breadth of characters\, including small-town journalists\, immigrant farmers\, folk-singing thieves\, and fraught families—all primarily centered around the fictional small town of Tabor. Suffused with magical realism and a blurring of the line between ordinary and mythological\, the book is also a multimedia exercise in connection\, with illustrations by Erdrich’s daughter\, Aza E. Abe\, interwoven throughout. \nErdrich will be joined in conversation by celebrated author Lauren Groff (Brawler\, Fates and Furies). In addition to being fellow indie bookstore owners\, Erdrich and Groff are longtime admirers of each other’s work. Aza E. Abe will also join midway through the event to share how she approached creating visual art for the stories. \nThis event is co-presented with Groff’s bookstore\, The Lynx. \nThis is a virtual event.

SUMMARY:CBH Talk | The Alchemy of Movement Building
DESCRIPTION:Join a panel of writers\, organizers\, and elected leaders for a powerful and urgent conversation about how movements are built quietly\, locally\, and out of public view\, before erupting into collective action. Moderated by Saul Austerlitz\, author of How to Assemble an Activist\, this program explores the sparks that turn private alarm into public action. Drawing on his own journey from political observer to engaged organizer\, Austerlitz offers a compelling case study of how ordinary people step forward\, find one another\, and begin the long work of change. \nAusterlitz will be joined by Council Member Alexa Avilés\, graphic artist and political zine-maker Megan Piontkowski\, and senior national political manager at Indivisible and co-founder of Hands Off NYC Molly Sandley\, whose voices are grounded in the day-to-day realities of grassroots work. Together\, they will pull back the curtain on what happens beneath the headlines: the patient community-building\, the creative interventions\, and the sustained collaboration that allow movements not just to ignite\, but to endure.
