Necromancers of the Public Domain – February
Dare to be Heinie with Ayun Halliday!
Seek refuge from cruel, dark winter with the Necromancers of the Public Domain. Each month, we pluck a long forgotten volume from the shelves of the New York Society Library and resurrect it as a low budget variety show.
Get some culture. Get some beer.
This month: Masterpieces in Colour: Bastien Lepage (1911)
“There are certain beings who bear the stamp of the divine seal and are preordained to receive the higest favours within the gift of glory; they are fated to pass through life like those brilliant meteors which are seen to flash across the heavens and disappear in the same instant. Bastien-Lepage was one of those meteors.”
Thursday, February 8, 8pm

One Night Only: How to Kill An Elephant
Dare to be Heinie with Ayun Halliday!
I kind of feel like letting the beautiful image below speak for itself. Suffice it to say I’ll be appearing in a one-night only sneak peek of How to Kill an Elephant, a work-in-progress by CB Goodman. It’s free! Yes, there are cardboard wigs, and though it’s only half an hour long, there’s a really porn-y monologue, so leave the kids at home! In-house bar! Wahoooooo!
