Show of Hands: An A.R.T./New York Member Celebration

Monday November 18, 2024
6pm-9pm ET

Format: In Person
Location: The A.R.T./New York Mezzanine Theatre // 502 W. 53rd Street, New York, NY

To kick off the Fall Forum, be our guest at the ‘see and be seen’ party of the season!

Since the earliest days, theatre is where we go to sit around the fire and tell stories. The people sitting next to and across from us are as important as the stories themselves, so we hope you will be our guest to gather in community, make new friends, and see yourself reflected back to you. 

Drinks and hors d'oeuvres provided throughout the evening, along with a feature presentation to begin at 7:00pm.

Featuring Keynote Speaker:

TF3T’s most recent production, The Absolute Future, premiered at NYU Skirball in 2024, and their upcoming work, Bunny Bunny, will debut in 2025.
