Theatre for a New Audience: The Tragedy of Coriolanus
2026-02-27 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-02-28 14:00 - 16:00, 2026-02-28 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-03-01 14:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-01 19:30 - 21:30
Who should lead in a land where the political rules are rapidly shifting and reordering, class revolt is raging, and basic food has become unaffordable? Is there a place for Coriolanus (McKinley Belcher III), a noble war hero and uncompromising aristocrat, both admirable and detestable, who refuses to hide his contempt for the newly empowered plebeian citizens?
Director Ash K. Tata stages Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Coriolanus incorporating live performance and a media-saturated landscape where the alienation of gaming violence and screen combat are contrasted with the intensity of IRL battles, and the relationship of Volumnia (Roslyn Ruff) and her son Coriolanus gives human shape to the political drama.

On the first Friday of the month, join The Center for Fiction as they celebrate and launch a selection of the best debut novels published today. Be among the first to discover boundary-pushing and world-expanding work from new voices in fiction.

This month, we are pleased to welcome debut novelists Alice Martin (Westward Women), Teo Rivera-Dundas (Slow Guillotine), and Reena Shah (Every Happiness). March’s novels ask what it means to stay, to leave, and to become someone new—within friendships, families, and the wider world.

We hope you’ll support our featured authors by buying their books at the event (purchase all three for 15% off). Space is limited, so reserve your spot today.

The Future Is Now: Artificial Intelligence and the Literary World
2026-03-12 19:00 - 21:00
Artificial intelligence is reshaping our world faster than most people can compute. For many in the literary world, the picture it paints is largely dystopian—especially when considering the ambitions of Big Tech and financial market executives.
Join The Cener for Fiction for a timely panel conversation about technology and moral responsibility in the age of AI with Dashiel Carrera, author of The Deer and Visiting Researcher in Computer Science at Columbia University; Tuhin Chakrabarty, Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department in Stony Brook University (SUNY); and Bruce Holsinger, author of Culpability and Professor of English at the University of Virginia, moderated by Maris Kreizman, columnist, essayist, and author of I Want to Burn This Place Down.
How will AI reshape critical thinking, storytelling, the publishing world, and the labor market for writers? And how can authors advocate for themselves and each other in the face of seemingly unchecked power and wealth? Together, the group will explore how fiction can illuminate the ethical stakes of emerging technologies—and what it can reveal about responsibility, power, and the futures we are already building.

CBH Talk | Women Laughing: A Film Screening and Panel Discussion
2026-03-25 18:30 - 20:00
In celebration of Women’s History Month, join Center for Brooklyn History for a screening of the documentary Women Laughing, a joyful tribute to female humor and sensibility as expressed through the works and words of The New Yorker magazine’s women cartoonists. Directed by four-decade New Yorker cartoonist Liza Donnelly and award-winning filmmaker Kathleen Hughes, the film shines a spotlight on the sometimes quirky, occasionally angry, often poignant, but always insightful expression of women’s perspective and humor.
Following the screening, a panel discussion will feature four of the New Yorker cartoonists featured in the film: Liza Donnelly, Emily Flake, Liana Finck, and Bishakh Som. Together they reflect on their creative practices, female wit, and the power of women’s observations to bring insight, connection, cultural critique, and a hearty chuckle. Stand up comedian, writer and podcast host Ophira Eisenberg moderates.
