Sundays on Broadway and co-curators Jon Kinzel and Cathy Weis invite you for an exciting evening of video and performance.

Unfortunately, due to the elevator being out of commission this season, Allegra Fuller Snyder’s appearance has been postponed. Fortunately, she has been kind enough to reschedule for next season.

That said, we’re pleased to announce the new program for November 18th:

Anna Kroll & Stuart Shugg will present a segment from their duet Open House, a surreal sitcom for the stage.

Cathy Weis will show a video excerpt from her vault of treasures.

The final event of the evening will be Shorties – a flurry of micro-dances. This series of one-to-two minute improvisations, inspired by Lisa Nelson, will be performed in quick succession by 10 or more surprise performers. Who says we can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear?
