Poetry Night at the Episcopal Actors’ Guild is back!
Join us for “Romantics & Cynics,” an evening of poetry and spoken‑word performances by the EAG community.
Want to perform? Purchase a ticket and email curator Michael Freeman at [email protected]. Let him know whether your piece is a Romantic (hopeful, lyrical) or a Cynic (satirical, skeptical).
Just want to listen? Simply buy a ticket, join us at Guild Hall, and enjoy the feast of words.

The Episcopal Actors' Guild (EAG) (est. 1923) provides emergency aid and support to professional performers of all faiths who are undergoing financial crisis. We are also dedicated to helping emerging artists advance their careers through scholarships, awards, and performance opportunities. For over 100 years, we have been a safety net, providing crucial services to ensure the well-being of NYC's vital community of individual performing artists. ​www.actorsguild.org

Directions: The Episcopal Actors’ Guild (EAG)/Guild Hall is located at 1 EAST 29th STREET, NYC 10016 (midblock between Madison and Fifth, between #3 and #9 East 29th Street) on the second floor of the Church of the Transfiguration (aka the Little Church Around the Corner). We are NOT the big church on the corner of Fifth Avenue; that's Marble Collegiate. When you arrive at the Little Church, enter through the main gate and go through the garden to the door marked Guild Hall (between the main doors into the church and the door to the parish office).
Parking: Due to ongoing construction to replace a city water main, there is currently no on-street parking available on East 29th Street between Madison and Fifth Avenues. The two closest parking garages are located across the street at 10 East 29th Street and around the block at 10 East 30th Street.
Getting Here: The closest subways are the R/W or 6 at 28th Street or the B/D/F/M or N/Q/R/W at 34th Street/Herald Square. If you are arriving by bus, take the M1, M2, M3, M5, M6, or M7.
Lobby: Guild Hall does NOT have a lobby or waiting area. You are welcome to enjoy the Little Church’s garden (weather permitting) if you arrive before the house opens.
Accessibility: Guild Hall is not a fully ADA-compliant venue. However, we do our best to accommodate all patrons. Guild Hall is located up one flight of stairs (20 steps). There is no elevator; however, a stair chair is available for those who need assistance making it up to or down from Guild Hall. EAG’s staff will be happy to assist you upon request.
Late seating: We cannot guarantee late seating.
EAG's Health & Safety Rules: Masks are strongly recommended but no longer required in Guild Hall. Please stay home if you are sick or if you have tested positive for covid, the flu, RSV, etc.. For more details, please visit www.actorsguild.org/covid-safety-protocols.
EAG's Code of Conduct: EAG strives for a safe and welcoming environment for all people entering Guild Hall or engaging with EAG’s programs. To view our Code of Conduct in full, please visit www.actorsguild.org/coc.
