Dance Performance | Sylvain Émard's Le Grand Continental, a US Dance Premiere


The US premiere of Montréal-based choreographer Sylvain Émard’s Le Grand Continental. Combining festive line dancing with the fluidity and expressiveness of contemporary dance, Le Grand Continental has garnered enthusiastic audience responses every time it has been performed. Featured three years in a row at the prestigious Festival TransAmériques in Montréal, this spectacular outdoor work boasted impressive casts of amateur dancers. The concept then travelled to Mexico City to become El Gran Continental, where disco, techno, and country music became cumbia, salsa, and danzón. For its US premiere, Le Grand Continental brings together 200 New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds to perform this joyful blend of line dancing and contemporary dance. All driven by the pure pleasure of movement, these passionate amateur dancers will have the place swinging to their energetic vibes. The marriage of art and the village fête has been consummated, and the result is dangerously infectious!

Theater | Shakespeare's As You Like It, Directed by Tony Winner Daniel Sullivan


Rosalind, Shakespeare's most breathtaking heroine, and her boyfriend Orlando find themselves in the enchanted Forest of Arden, where all the world's a stage, and where sudden infatuation is as confusing as it is beautiful. Along with other "country copulatives," they discover that nothing transforms, redeems, or enriches experience quite as powerfully as love. As You Like It has everything we adore about Shakespearean comedy: mistaken identity, cross-dressing, madness, mayhem, rage, lust, laughter, and of course plenty of romance, both heartbreaking and joyous. Featuring Brendan Averett, Andre Braugher, Donna Lynne Champlin, Grantham Coleman, Jon DeVries, MacIntyre Dixon, Susannah Flood, David Furr, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Andrew Hovelson, Robert Joy, Jesse Lenat, Erik Mathew, Omar Metwally, Oliver Platt, Lily Rabe, Will Rogers, Michael Rudko, Justine Salata, Paul Saylor, Anna Phyllis Smith, Stephen Spinella, and Brendan Titley.
