Book Discussion | A Discussion on Anzia Yezierska’s Bread Givers, 90 Years Later
Anzia Yezierska’s Bread Givers, a story of a young Jewish immigrant woman's striving to become an American, garnered rave reviews upon its 1925 publication. By the 1930s her work had faded into obscurity, but historian Alice Kessler-Harris rediscovered the novel and shepherded it to its re-publication in the 1970s.
This program invites Kessler-Harris to reflect on its influence, and assembles a panel of women from different generations and backgrounds to assess its relevance to today’s feminists and immigrants. Come hear Anna Holmes from the New York Times, Nisha Agarwal, Commissioner for the Mayor’s Office of Immigration, Margaret Chin, Hunter College sociologist, and Linda Sarsour, Executive Director of the Arab American Association of New York shed new light on this classic.

Theater | New Visions Directing Festival: Tango Palace
Tango Palace by Maria Irene Fornes is an exploration of the bounds and bonds of an ambiguously intimate relationship.
Isidore is a clown: a flamboyant horror, bewigged, lipsticked, half-man/half-woman; Leopold is an earnest youth, dressed in a business suit. Mind games, object lessons, and tender encounters that erupt into outbursts of escalating violence set the tone, as these two eccentrics go from strangers to partners – so agonizingly enmeshed that their separation could mean their destruction.
This production occurs December 8-12.
