SUMMARY:An Evening with Fran Lebowitz
DESCRIPTION:In a cultural landscape filled with endless pundits and talking heads\, Fran Lebowitz stands out as one of our most insightful social commentators. \nHer essays and interviews offer her acerbic views on current events and the media – as well as pet peeves including tourists\, baggage-claim areas\, after-shave lotion\, adults who roller skate\, children who speak French\, or anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review calls Lebowitz an “important humorist in the classic tradition.” Purveyor of urban cool\, Lebowitz is a cultural satirist whom many call the heir to Dorothy Parker. \nLebowitz worked odd jobs\, such as taxi driving\, belt peddling\, and apartment cleaning (“with a small specialty in Venetian blinds”)\, before being hired by Andy Warhol as a columnist for Interview. That was followed by a stint at Mademoiselle. Her first book\, a collection of essays titled Metropolitan Life\, was a bestseller\, as was a second collection\, Social Studies. By turns ironic\, facetious\, deadpan\, sarcastic\, wry\, wisecracking\, and waggish\, Lebowitz’s prose is wickedly entertaining. \nBetween 2001 to 2007\, Lebowitz had a recurring role as Judge Janice Goldberg on the television drama Law & Order. She also had a part in the Martin Scorsese-directed film\, The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). A raconteur if ever there was one\, Lebowitz has long been a regular on various talk shows including those hosted by Jimmy Fallon\, Conan O’Brien\, and Bill Maher. In an interview with the Paris Review\, Lebowitz said “I’m not a nervous person. I’m not afraid to be on TV. I’m only afraid when I write. When I’m at my desk I feel like most people would feel if they went on TV.” \nSaturday\, March 14\, 2026\n7:00pm\, Reserved Seating\n$31-$51

SUMMARY:The Breasts of Tirésias
DESCRIPTION:The Breasts of Tiresias\nMusic by Francis Poulenc and Lyics by Gillaume Apollinaiare\nGender norms pop like balloons in The Breasts of Tiresias\, Poulenc and Appollinaire’s bawdy surrealist romp. Frustrated with the life of a housewife\, Tiresias sheds her breasts and becomes the male General Tirésias. As she leads a new life fighting distant wars on foreign battlefields\, her stay-at-home husband discovers a way to make babies on his own – but not just one: 40\,049 of them. This delightfully sugar-coated pill coats the sublime in the ridiculous.
