Marlo Thomas and Phil Donahue in Conversation with Rob Reiner

Thu, May 7, 7:30 pm, $20*

To honor and celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary Marlo Thomas and Phil Donahue, in their first ever joint project, have created a book together, What Makes A Marriage Last: 40 Celebrated Couples Share With Us the Secret to a Happy Life. Join them on May 7 at 7:30 pm, when they talk with TV icon Rob Reiner, who, along with his wife Michele, was interviewed for the book.

During the past year Marlo and Phil traveled the country "double dating" with other couples they admire and found their stories both surprising and inspiring, hilarious and heartbreaking but always bracingly honest and always uncovering that unique combinations of work and play, give and take, and sometimes conflict too that have torn many couples apart but only tightened the relationships for these couples and much to their own surprise they ended up telling their own marital journey something they always were reluctant to do. They say it's not a "how to" but a "what" book-a collection of deeply personal and insightful tales.

As many of us are now working from home and many marriages are suddenly taking on brand new dynamics, it's an interesting moment to hear from Marlo Thomas and Phil Donahue about how they and other couples have successfully navigated life's challenges.

Join them as they share the stories that present the strongest case ever for making that promise "as long as we both shall live."

NEW DATE!
Thu, May 14, 4 pm ET, $15*

You know Jane Seymour as a glamorous, accomplished, and award-winning actress whose roles in the original cast of Broadway's Amadeus and films such as Live and Let Die, Wedding Crashers, Somewhere in Time, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, Onassis: The Richest Man in the World, East of Eden and, most recently, The Kominsky Method , have earned her a deserved reputation as one of the most accomplished, versatile, and enduring talents in recent times. And when she is not acting, writing, or producing, Jane Seymour can be found in her painting studio. With a thriving career as an artist, she has exhibited in numerous galleries and venues across America. Her artwork serves as inspiration for Open Hearts by Jane Seymour®, which reflects her mother's philosophy that only when you keep yourself open can you best give and receive love. In this spirit, we are delighted that Ms. Seymour will give an exclusive, one-hour painting class for patrons of 92Y. In the class, she will demonstrate her oil-painting technique for painting roosters.

Behind the Music with Louis Rosen l PASSION: Sondheim, Lapine, and the Opera Impulse Revived

Thu, May 21, 1:30-3:30 pm, $50*

"I chose to think of the show as one long, rhapsodic love song, musically relentless, the recitative where necessary morphing into formal patterns, and as much of the dialogue underscored as possible."

Thus, Stephen Sondheim embarked on his third groundbreaking project with collaborator James Lapine, a unique attempt to fuse the characteristics of the American musical play and the opera impulse.
