About this Event

Join theater maker, amateur theater historian, and MHK native Blake Bolan for a guided tour through a selection of 19th, 20th and 21st century Western experimental performance legends and underground cult heroes. This one hour talk is packed to the brim with artists who defy expectations.

This talk has previously been presented at Brick Aux (Brooklyn), the JoCo Cruise (somewhere off the coast of Mexico), and Baruch College (NYC). We're excited to bring this to MHK, where Blake's love of experimental theater began.

Please register so that we can secure enough supplemental zines to share with everyone!

Note: this is not a program of the Manhattan Public Library.
