5) Echo Glass
Echo Glass was developed through an ongoing collaboration between composer Concetta Abbate and Wendy Osserman Dance Company and is presented on the occasion of the company’s 50th anniversary. Choreographed by Osserman in collaboration with dancers Cori Kresge and Hui Wang Zhang, the work brings movement and live music into close, reciprocal relation, with each shaping the structure, timing, and texture of the other.
The live score, composed and performed by Abbate with vocalists Jimmy Kraft, Judette Elliston, and Damon Hankoff, draws inspiration from echolocation techniques and from the ways partially sighted individuals experience the world through hearing and vibrational touch as primary senses. The music explores sound as a spatial and perceptual force—resonating through bodies, architecture, and atmosphere—and operates not as accompaniment but as an active presence within the performance.
Together, dance and music in Echo Glass invite audiences to listen with their bodies, feel movement as resonance, and consider alternative ways of perceiving space, relationship, and presence—marking a 50-year commitment to experimentation, collaboration, and embodied inquiry.

Told in shifting perspectives, the play reveals what can happen when you really let yourself go.

Ghost Light follows Claire Doyle, a successful but disillusioned TV and film star, who seeks a return to true acting by joining a Broadway revival of a long-forgotten play once headlined by the legendary Ethel Merman. But as opening night beckons, Claire faces mounting challenges from her inability to project to forgetting lines amidst a myriad of technical mishaps. Things take a bizarre turn when Merman’s ghost, who haunts the theater, is determined to sabotage Claire’s performance. With tensions rising and the show at risk, Claire must overcome her self-doubt and the spectral diva to prove she belongs on the Broadway stage in this hilarious, supernatural battle for the spotlight!

Directed by Tony Award nominee Jessica Stone and Encores! Music Director Mary-Mitchell Campbell with choreography by Ellenore Scott, this rarely revived musical is adapted from Noël Coward’s beloved comedy Blithe Spirit. The spectral Broadway rarity promises haunted hilarity and a brassy, swinging score by Hugh Martin and Timothy Gray that hasn’t been heard on Broadway since its 1964 debut. Coward’s story follows novelist Charles Condomine (Steven Pasquale) and his wife Ruth (Phillipa Soo), whose marriage is upended when the eccentric medium Madame Arcati (Andrea Martin) unwittingly conjures the ghost of Charles’s late first wife, Elvira (Katrina Lenk).

11) Finding Dorothy Parker
Finding Dorothy Parker is a sparkling revue and whirlwind tour of Dorothy Parker’s hilarious and wise material performed by some of the funniest women on Broadway. Dorothy Parker was the razor-sharp wit of the Roaring Twenties, a cocktail-sipping literary firecracker who made her mark with her words and her style. Parker’s dazzling wit graced the pages of Vanity Fair (where she was a staff writer and theater critic), The New Yorker (where she was one of its earliest contributors), Vogue, Life, The Saturday Evening Post, and her short stories, poems, and reviews have been collected into several books. Whether she was penning scathing reviews, unforgettable one-liners, or melancholic poetry, Parker’s unapologetic brilliance and biting humor made her a legend. Dorothy Parker - An intoxicating mix of biting social commentary and campy fabulousness that continues to sparkle like a glass of champagne.

Traditionally, baggywrinkle is made from unraveled ropes, but throughout February, you can learn to make these important tools from scratch using colorful yarn. This fun craft can make for a unique maritime-inspired Valentine’s Day decoration or you can use whatever color you like!
The activity will take place indoors at 14 Fulton Street.

Works & Process Presents
Steppenwolf Theatre Company
Windfall by Tarell Alvin McCraney
at Guggenheim New York
Monday, February 9, 2026 at 7PM
Works & Process presents Steppenwolf Theatre Company for a preview performance of Windfall by Tarell Alvin McCraney, set for Monday, February 9, 2026 at 7PM at the Peter B. Lewis Theater, 1071 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY, 10128. Tickets start at $25 and can be purchased here.
Go behind the scenes of Windfall, a new work written by Academy Award–winning Steppenwolf ensemble member Tarell Alvin McCraney. Premiering in Chicago in April during Steppenwolf's 50th Anniversary Season, this evening offers a first look at excerpts from this dynamic new play, along with insights into McCraney’s creative process.
Windfall is a story about money. Don’t let them fool you otherwise. When a father loses his child in a clash with the local police, he is visited by three strangers who advise him to take the city’s cash settlement, relocate and forget his grief––or else stay and remain impoverished, surrounded by memories of the world his child fought so hard to protect. McCraney’s new work explores how grief, justice, sexuality, gender, history, and even pride become secondary concerns in the wake of currency.
