The WINKS are back this autumn - and this time, we're focusing on the ladies and on local NYC playwrights! Each month will feature a 15-minute segment from original works by different writers which are related to, or inspired by, the theme for each month. The themes are as follows: September - MOTHER, October - MAIDEN, November - CRONE, December - MADONNA, January - WHORE. The only consistent element is that each play must feature a "great role" for a female actor. At the end of each night the audience will be invited to select their favorite play of the evening by casting an anonymous ballot. The audience favorite decided upon by majority vote will be named a semifinalist and invited to submit a full text* to Wide Eyed Productions' Artistic Board for consideration for our final round.

When the Zimmerli's curators first devised two complementary exhibitions of American art titled Circa 1966 - one focusing on prints, the other on paintings and sculpture - the intention was to commemorate the museum's golden anniversary by spotlighting key works created around the time of its founding. But in addition to spotlighting revolutionary movements that now have an established presence in art history, the subjects of many of the works focus on social and political discussions from the era that have prominently re-emerged across the United States.
