92nd Street Y News

Northrop Dance at the University of Minnesota presents Nicholas Leichter Dance with Monstah Black at Intermedia Arts, presented in collaboration with Bedlam Theatre and Intermedia Arts, May 4-8 (times vary).

Cast member Anthony Rapp joins the 92YTribeca audience live for this 1987 comedy that strands rubes from the 'burbs in the big city. Chris Columbus' directorial debut features Elisabeth Shue as a babysitter whose emergency errand into Chicago leads her and her young charges to an outrageous all-night fiasco, featuring run-ins with menacing car thieves and shank-wielding gang members, plus a stop at a dive where 'no one leaves without singing the blues.' A kind of flipside to Ferris Bueller's Day Off, this is perhaps the lone Hughes-era teen comedy to pluck the kids out of suburbia only to pit them against their paranoid nightmares of the inner city.

Doug Varone and Dancers' popular series of intimate studio showings entitled Stripped continues with its fourth installment on Friday, May 6 at 8pm at the 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Center

Once upon a time, right here in New York City, storied clubs - swanky hotel supper clubs, zebra-striped celebrity showcases, smoky after-hour boîtes - ruled the night. Places like The Stork Club, Copacabana, Persian Room and Latin Quarter (run by Lou Walters, father of Barbara ) were meccas where songwriters, singers and society mingled and fueled American popular music. Author and Lyrics & LyricistsTM series artistic director Deborah Grace Winer takes the helm as artistic director/writer/host for The Crowd's at El Morocco: The Heyday of the New York Nightclubs, on April 30 and May 1, 2. Joining her are vocalists Debby Boone, La Tanya Hall, James Naughton, Billy Stritch and Karen Ziemba.
