Sundays on Broadway presents a daylong screening of 10 films from 9 Evenings: Theatre & Engineering, on Sunday, November 13. The program, organized by Julie Martin and Cathy Weis, runs from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and will be followed by a panel discussion.

The films of 9 Evenings document the collaborations between 10 New York artists and 30 engineers from Bell Telephone Laboratories to produce performances incorporating new technology shown at the 69th Regiment Armory in New York City in October 1966. The films are directed by Barbro Schultz Lundestam and produced by Billy Klüver and Julie Martin for Experiments in Art and Technology. The screenings will be followed by a program featuring a short compilation film of all 10 works and a panel discussion moderated by Julie Martin.
