SUMMARY:Screening & Discussion: 'Broadway\, Bars and Fortune: A Story of Incarceration and Redemption'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free screening of the powerful new 40-minute documentary Broadway\, Bars\, and Fortune that highlights the work of our friends at The Fortune Society\, followed by a conversation with director Dr. Shuvendu Sen\, Fortune Society founder David Rothenberg\, and others from the film! \nIn a climate of increasing crime and high recidivism\, an organization chooses a unique path of transformation through arts and theater. \nThis is the story of four formerly incarcerated souls turned actors\, their travails\, their indomitable courage\, and their triumphant return to their lives. \nBroadway\, Bars\, and Fortune is a documentary on courage\, hope\, and arts entwined in an encircling embrace of human bondage. A reminder that formal acceptance and adoption of such measures during the period of incarceration can be life changing and often lifesaving. \nRead more about the film at Theater News and Splashmags. \n>>>RSVP on Eventbrite

SUMMARY:From Activists to Terrorists: How NSPM-7 Seeks to Use 'Domestic Terrorism' to Target Non-Profits and Activists
DESCRIPTION:WATCH LIVE\n \nSecret watchlists\, digital surveillance\, spurious investigations\, and the “terrorist” label: The government is using increasingly dangerous tools to intimidate and criminalize activists and organizations President Trump considers “the enemy within.” \nAnd the movement for climate justice is next. \nIn February\, the FBI visited members of Extinction Rebellion NYC and Attorney General Pam Bondi said Climate Defiance is under investigation. This week\, President Trump claimed\, “Environmentalists are terrorists.” \nThis follows the signing of National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7)\, a new\, terrifying federal blacklist targeting expansive categories of activists and organizations. \nThese were not the first groups to be targeted and they will not be the last. \nJoin us to hear from targeted activists facing down these threats\, along with legal experts battling the government in court\, to learn how we can–and must–work together to protect each other\, protect our civil liberties\, and protect our climate in the face of fossil-fueled authoritarianism. \nSPEAKERS INCLUDE\nSteven Donziger\, Moderator – Attorney and activist \nNate Smith – Targeted climate activist \nDana R. Fisher – Director of the Center for Environment\, Community\, & Equity and Professor in the School of International Service at American University. \nEmile Ayoub – Senior Counsel of the @brennancenter Liberty and National Security Program \nRonald L. Kuby – Criminal defense and civil rights lawyer\, radio talk show host\, and television commentator \nMore Speakers TBA! \n>>>Register on Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Metropolitan Presents: Gaelic Storm
DESCRIPTION:Multi-national\, Celtic juggernaut Gaelic Storm will perform at Adler Hall at New York Society for Ethical Culture on Saturday March 28\, 2026 at 8:00PM along with special guest JigJam. \nIt’s hard to imagine a band just coming into their own after 20 years of success\, but that’s exactly what makes a true anomaly. Gaelic Storm\, a multi-national\, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance\, and after two decades and over 2000 shows\, they are a true force to be reckoned with. \nThe band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience\, and it’s a well-diversified crowd for sure – attracting fans of every genre with their rich storytelling\, energetic instrumentals\, devotion to Celtic traditions and passion for their stagecraft. They are as loyal to their fans as the fans are to them\, as front man Patrick Murphy states\, “The fans are the ones that have given us this life. We’re here for them.” \nGaelic Storm takes a true blue-collar\, hard-nose approach to touring\, consistently traveling the US and internationally forging a unique path in the Celtic music world. “You have to see us live. We are the true working-man’s’ band\,” says longtime member Ryan Lacey. “We still\, and most likely always will\, tour most of the year\, and that’s how we constantly hone our craft.” \nThis dedication to their live show dates all the way back to the mid-1990s\, when Gaelic Storm kicked off its’ career as a pub band in Santa Monica\, California. One which performance led to their discovery that ultimately found the band appearing in the blockbuster film\, Titanic (where they performed “Irish Party in Third Class”). This laid the groundwork for a career that would eventually find them topping the Billboard World Chart six times\, making appearances at mainstream music festivals\, and regularly headlining the largest Irish Festivals across the country\, all while gaining a reputation as a genre-bending Irish rock band whose songs mix Celtic traditions with something uniquely creative. \nRecent years have seen the addition of Natalya Kay on fiddle and Parker Hastings on guitar\, who both bring their own energy\, musicianship and spirit to Gaelic Storm. \nTickets\nClick here to purchase \n— \nNotice: This event is managed and ticketed by Metropolitan Entertainment.
