SUMMARY:Warren Epstein Presents: BORSCHT BELTED
DESCRIPTION:At Ethical NYC September 21 & 22: Laughs\, dreams and cold beet soup in the cradle of American comedy! \nCatskills native Warren Epstein’s acclaimed one-man show comes to Ethical! From screaming\, maniacal chefs to the Kings and Queens of Stand-up\, Borsht Belted conjures the sights\, smells\, and snickers in a place that still resonates in our collective funny bone. \nEpstein channels Rodney Dangerfield\, Woody Allen\, Jack Benny\, and other humor pioneers as he recreates his childhood memories from the famous Catskill resort area in New York. His poignant recreation of Jimmy Grecco–“King of the Catskills”–gives us a memorable portrait of a great comic and the incredible era of American Comedy that produced him. \nEpstein brings the Borscht Belt back to life in all it’s schtick-filled glory. You’ll smell the gefilte fish and laugh out a lung as you journey through the quirky bungalow colonies\, smoky cocktail lounges\, and majestic resorts that now exist only in memory. \nThursday\, September 21 performance will be followed by a special talkback. Come share your Borscht Belt stories! \nTickets: $35\nClick here to purchase tickets on Eventbrite! \nMember Discount! Contact mdetermann@nysec.org. \nRead about Borscht Belted at the Colorado Springs Indy! \n“It’s funny about when you grow up in a place that’s unique\,” Epstein says\, “you think everything is entirely normal. So to me\, Milton Berle playing on Saturday a few blocks from my house — that was just another Saturday night.” Milton Berle\, along with comedians like Woody Allen\, Jerry Seinfeld\, Joan Rivers and Marc Maron got their start in the Catskills resorts\, where the Jewish population of New York would go to unwind. The Catskills comedy scene has long since died away\, leaving empty hotels and a fading legacy. Epstein says: “I’m realizing that my memory and my experience\, along with the historic significance of it\, you know\, it called me to do something theatrically about it.” \nChanneling these comedians and his own memories of sneaking into comedy shows and working in famous hotels\, Epstein has created a one-man show to honor both the famous and the forgotten Borscht Belt funnymen who changed the landscape of American comedy. The audience can look forward to meeting Jimmy Grecco\, Epstein’s composite of the comedic personalities he knew and witnessed\, who will narrate a journey through a formative piece of theatrical history. It’s an important story for Epstein to tell\, and not just because it connects to his childhood. It connects to his heritage\, and the shared heritage of many American Jews. \nWatch a Preview:

SUMMARY:Food for Thought Productions Presents - Unlucky Gal: The Jane Doe Story
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! Followed by a Q&A with the cast\, playwright\, director\, Marty Garbus\, and former NYPD Deputy Chief Michael Osgood. \nDon’t miss Unlucky Gal: The Jane Doe Story\, part two of Food for Thought Productions’ new series exploring seven controversial cases of legendary attorney Martin Garbus\, described by The Guardian as “one of the world’s finest trial lawyers.” \nUnlucky Gal tells the story of Jane Doe\, a twenty-seven year old gay black woman who was raped in Prospect Park in April\, 1994. \nTwo days later\, Mike McAlary of the The New York Daily News began publishing a series of three articles\, based on anonymous police sources\, claiming that Jane Doe was lying about her assault\, although the NYPD did have evidence to the contrary. Devastated\, Jane Doe sued McAlary and the The New York Daily News for libel\, but lost. \nIn 2013 the play Lucky Guy\, based on McAlary\, opened on Broadway. Marty Garbus wrote an editorial for The New York Times pointing out that Jane Doe’s story still had not been told\, and asked\, “Who will tell Jane Does’ story?” \nIn 2017\, Michael Osgood\, Deputy Chief of the NYPD’s Special Victims Unit\, heard a radio interview that mentioned the Jane Doe case and Marty’s op-ed. Osgood read the piece\, and knowing Garbus’ reputation\, reopened the case. In 2018\, DNA evidence revealed Jane Doe’s attacker. \nJane Doe’s fight for justice took nearly two and a half decades. It’s time to tell her story. Unlucky Gal is that story. \n$25 – In-Person and Online\nClick here to purchase tickets on Eventbrite \nProduced by Food for Thought Productions \nRead about Unlucky Gal at Times Square Chronicles. \nAbout Playwright Susan Charlotte \nSusan’s multi-faceted career started with Prism Blues.

SUMMARY:Interview with Andrew Boyd: Navigating the Climate Crisis with Grief\, Hope\, and Gallows Humor
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nLeader Dr. Joe Chuman interviews Andrew Boyd\, author of I Want a Better Catastrophe. \nWith global warming projected to rocket past the 1.5°C limit\, lifelong activist Andrew Boyd is thrown into a crisis of hope\, and off on a quest to learn how to live with the “impossible news” of our climate doom. Join us as Dr. Joe Chuman interviews Andrew and learn how he maps out our existential options while tackling some familiar dilemmas: “Should I bring kids into such a world?” “Can I lose hope when others can’t afford to?” and “Why am I even recycling?” \nAndrew Boyd is an author\, humorist\, and climate activist. His new book\, I Want a Better Catastrophe: Navigating the Climate Crisis with Grief\, Hope\, and Gallows Humor was published by New Society Press in February 2023. He is currently CEO (Chief Existential Officer) of the Climate Clock\, a global campaign he co-founded that melds art\, science\, technology\, and grassroots organizing to get the world to #ActInTime. Boyd also co-created the grief-storytelling ritual the Climate Ribbon and led the 2000s-era satirical campaign “Billionaires for Bush.” His previous books include Beautiful Trouble (OR Books\, 2012); Daily Afflictions (WW Norton\, 2002)\, and Life’s Little Deconstruction Book (WW Norton\, 1998). Unable to come up with his own lifelong ambition\, he’s been cribbing from Milan Kundera: “to unite the utmost seriousness of question with the utmost lightness of form.” \nWatch Online: Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above. \nMonthly Collection: Maui Strong Fund \nCOVID-19 Notice: Vaccination is required.
