In its 13th year, this critically-acclaimed series has blossomed from an idea into what Show Business Weekly deems, "...an invaluable and entertaining jewel in the cabaret crown of New York." The New York Times has called it, "Witty, breezily paced. . .informative. . .valuable. . .the right perspective of lighthearted nostalgia... a reasonably priced alternative to City Center's Encore Series."

Built in 1921 by a group of suffragettes, The Town Hall began as a lecture hall and public debate forum and grew to be a landmark institution for arts, culture and education. Over the decades, Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Sanger, Billie Holiday, Igor Stravinsky, Bob Dylan and MiLes Davis have graced the stage. Today the Hall boasts the hottest acts in rock, pop, folk, cabaret, world music, comedy and dance, including Elvis Costello, Nick Offerman, Rodriguez, Pat Metheny, Norah Jones, Brandi Carlile, Joe Jackson, Pink Martini, Regina Spektor, Bryan Adams, Lang Lang and Dawn Upshaw. For over twenty-five years, The Town Hall has hosted live broadcasts of Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion, and produced a number of new and critically acclaimed musical series, including the Century of Change, Not Just Jazz, Broadway by the Year, Broadway Cabaret Festival and the Spring Series.
