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?

Be sure to check out the amazing heavly bodies, The Costume Institute's spring 2018 exhibition—at The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters—features a dialogue between fashion and medieval art from The Met collection to examine fashion's ongoing engagement with the devotional practices and traditions of Catholicism.

Serving as the cornerstone of the exhibition, papal robes and accessories from the Sistine Chapel sacristy, many of which have never been seen outside The Vatican, are on view in the Anna Wintour Costume Center. Fashions from the early twentieth century to the present are shown in the Byzantine and medieval galleries, part of the Robert Lehman Wing, and at The Met Cloisters. by MET

#MetHeavenlyBodies





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.

Innovation in Healthcare: Why More of the Same is Not the Answer
Health care is a complex industry and one that makes innovation difficult and consuming, but necessary. Achieving the Quadruple Aim in healthcare - managing population health, improving patient experience, optimizing clinician and team satisfaction, and lowering costs - remains elusive to many health care organizations. Physicians are experiencing higher than ever rates of professional burnout, patients experience significant challenges with accessing primary and specialty care in a timely and meaningful way, socio-behavioral complexities of care remain unaddressed, health disparities and inequities continue to widen, care coordination between medical neighborhood stakeholders is fragmented, new technologies, pharmaceuticals and devices require an average of 10 years before they penetrate the market, and health care spending consumes nearly 17% of the US GDP, more than any other industrialized nation, while US health system performance is ranked lowest among its peers. As such, the status quo is not sustainable and innovation is not just a good idea, it’s a lifeline for health care. In this conversation, our panelists will share unique health care innovations that disrupt the status quo. Learn how cutting health organizations have created models that are technology-enabled, patient-centered, holistic, accessible, team-based, timely, high quality, data driven, cost-effective, and well coordinated for a diverse portfolio of patients and their communities. Experts and innovators include Toyin Ajayi, MD, MPhil, Chief Health Officer, CityBlock; Vivek Garg, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer, New Markets and Business Development, CareMore and Tom Lee, MD, MBA, Founder and Executive Chairman, One Medical, with J. Nwando Olayiwola, MD, MPH, FAAFP, Chief Clinical Transformation Officer, RubiconMD, moderating the discussion
