Free Comic-con for all: COMIC-CON AT HOME 2020

Don't miss this opportunity to join the geekiest even ever (and some might say the funniest too). For the first time in 50 years, the on-site Comic-con event had to be suspended... yes, I know: it's terrible! But don't start crying because this might be a blessing in disgrace because the event is going on-line and FREE!
It has been rebranded as Comic-Con at Home. So get your inner child out and enjoy this amazing opportunity from July 22 to 26 from wherever you are: https://www.youtube.com/user/ComicCon/

BAREFOOT SHAKESPEARE COMPANY PRESENTS

ALL ONE FOREST
By: Joe Raik
Directed by Phoebe Brooks
Performing June 7th, 8th, 9th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th.
All shows at Summit Rock in Central Park.

Three young women from different places and times all cross paths in the forest. Before the day is out they will have to contend with the elements, with each other, and with the whole Faery Kingdom. One thing is certain: this is no ordinary forest.

CYMBELINE
By: William Shakespeare
Directed by Emily Gallagher
Performing August 23rd, 24th, 25th, 30th, 31st, September 1st, 2nd.
All shows at Summit Rock in Central Park.

It is 2018 and our country is in crisis: alienated, insular, and divided. In an attempt to preserve tradition, Cymbeline, pressured by his self-serving wife, arranges for his daughter and heir, Imogen, to be married off to a privileged, arrogant example of male toxicity. Her refusal and subsequent foray into the forest in disguise begins a journey fraught with danger, power, and jealousy. Will she persist?

And don't miss the Huma Bhabha (born in Pakistan) sculptures at the B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden, the sixth in a series of commissions for the outdoor space. Bhabha's work addresses themes of colonialism, war, displacement, and memories of place. Using found materials and the detritus of everyday life, she creates haunting human figures that hover between abstraction and figuration, monumentality and entropy.
