About this Event
This event will take place in person at The Library for the Performing Arts.
Any list of the most important plays and musicals to open in New York in the last 30 years would include at least several works by George C. Wolfe. His reimagining of Shuffle Along, his revival of The Iceman Cometh, and his celebration of the work of Jelly Roll Morton in Jelly's Last Jam exemplifies the library's goal of using the works of the past to help us understand our present and future. Wolfe's groundbreaking direction of the original Broadway productions of Angels in America and Topdog/Underdog and his genre-redefining work on Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk changed the landscape of the American theatre.
In this conversation with Wolfe, we explore his remarkable career, and screen clips of some of the recordings of his plays and musicals in the Theatre on Film and Tape Archive.
While tickets to all events at the Library for the Performing Arts are free, seating is granted on a first come first served basis. Five minutes before showtime, seats will be given out to people on the waitlist regardless of reservation status.
The Library encourages mask wearing in all public spaces.
