Nicks' presence and songwriting, alongside the band's musicianship, propelled them to international acclaim and cemented their status as icons.

StevieMac recreates Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks’ solo recordings. Diane Lutz gives her performance as Stevie Nicks with vocals and visuals that capture Nicks’ stage presence. The band performs the greatest hits from Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks, including “Stand Back,” “Rhiannon,” “Gold Dust Woman,” “Don’t Stop,” “Stop Dragging My Heart Around,” “Silver Springs” and so many more.

Story/Teller Arts: Quiara Alegría Hudes on My Broken Language
Event co-presented with The Center for Fiction in Brooklyn, NY on May 13
The Center for Fiction, a 200-year-old literary nonprofit that has created an immersive home for readers and writers in downtown Brooklyn, and Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national organization for theatre, will co-present Story/Teller Arts: Quiara Alegría Hudes on My Broken Language: A Theater Jawn on Monday, May 13 at 7pm ET at The Center for Fiction, 15 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217, and via livestream.
The evening will celebrate the publication of My Broken Language: A Theater Jawn. In this memoir-turned-play, Hudes showcases a handful of key life moments that mark subtle changes in her sense of self and her place in the world. Interlaid between these vignettes are moments of song, dance, and ritual that evoke her boisterous girlhood in a house run by the Perez women. Featuring performances by members of the original cast (Yadira Correa, Yani Marin, Samora la Perdida, Daphne Rubin-Vega, and Marilyn Torres) and a rich discussion with Hudes on her coming of age, the craft of book-to-stage adaptation, and the communal nature of autobiography, this is a can’t-miss event. After the event, Hudes will sign copies of the play.
The event will take place at The Center for Fiction, 15 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217 on Monday, May 13, 2024 at 7pm ET. In-person and livestream tickets are $10. All registrants will receive a link to livestream the event. Learn more and acquire your tickets here.

Experience the Legacy: Limón Dance Company
Friday, May 17, 2024 at 7pm
The Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College
Limón Dance Company (LDC), in collaboration with The City College Center for the Arts (CCCA), presents Experience the Legacy: Limón Dance Company on Friday, May 17, 2024 at 7pm at The Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College, 524 W. 59th Street, NYC. Tickets are $35 ($10 for students and seniors) and are available here.
Join Limón Dance Company and Limón2 for a celebration of José Limón's legacy through three of his greatest works: Missa Brevis, a poignant tribute to human resilience amidst the ruins of war, The Exiles, a virtuosic exploration of displacement and the universal journey toward the unknown, reflecting stories of immigrants and refugees with profound emotional depth, and a suite of There is a Time, Limón’s masterwork drawing from the timeless wisdom of Ecclesiastes, which captures the cyclical nature of human experience, emphasizing the power of community through expressive dance. Under the guidance of Artistic Director Dante Puleio, this performance promises to be a powerful expression of tenacity and humanity.
This exclusive event on May 17 showcases the enduring legacy of Limón’s message of empathy, hope, and perspective in an era of global conflict and division. In all three works, the themes of spirituality and being an “outsider looking in” emerge as a call to peace, perseverance, and acceptance. Witness the transformation from a historic company into a dynamic force of creative energy and secure your seats to be part of a movement that transcends time. The Limón Dance Company is not just a performance; it's a testament to the power of dance to connect, uplift, and inspire.

In May 1914, four brothers at a poker table sat down as Leonard, Arthur, Julius, and Milton, and stood up as Chico, Harpo, Groucho, and Gummo. (Zeppo came later.) In May 2014, five intrepid fans observed the centennial of this event with MARXFEST, a festival celebrating the Marx Brothers in the city of their birth.
A decade later, MARXFEST 2024 will be an even more momentous Marx Brothers celebration, marking a second centennial — their Broadway debut in I’ll Say She Is on May 19, 1924. Taking place over two glorious weekends (May 17-19 in Manhattan, May 24-26 at Coney Island), this commemoration of unprecedented proportions will be packed with special guests, talks, screenings, parties, performances, and surprises.
