Please join our friends this Friday, March 4 for cocktails and a very special the third performance of Upon My Word at the historic Players Club. More than just a landmark, the Players Club is truly a holdover from a time gone by. Like its neighbor the National Arts Club, the Players Club is a converted gentleman’s club that readily evokes New York in all its 19th-century finery. They have arranged to set their comic operetta Upon My Word in the Players Club’s grand ballroom. The Victorian tale of pompous lords and sumptuously bedecked ladies will complete the club’s transportive effect, carrying us all back to another time for the evening. If you’d like to buy advance tickets they are available here.

Tonight, brave the snow and see a special performance of an original operetta written by Alec Coiro, starring Alexandra Butler, Erica Randlett, Gordon Hull and Nick Kramer, and produced by our friend Erin Krause.

The piano zaps me faster than a microwave. It makes my heart melt instantly. Sunday night was one of those blissful New York spring evenings on the rooftop at Gavin Brown Enterprise. Hosted by the lovely Evas Arche und der Feminist, it was a light crowd, cheap drinks and elegant minimalist sculptures by Peter Kortmann. There were candles above a piano and Jay Israelson performed two melodic, hypnotic numbers. Everyone hushed, listening attentively. Even the lone baby in the crowd seemed to hold its breath. Just two songs, then the crowd began to stir; the chatter resumed, the baby cooed, and I got another glass of wine.
