"It's rare when the great artists of our time - like the legendary Rosemary Harris, or the multi-talented Billy Porter - are able to share an intimate, communal conversation about this art form we hold so dear," said Executive Director Gabriel Shanks. "We strictly limit our events to a maximum of sixty people, because we are interested having these events being a real moment in space, time, and above all, a relaxed conversation."
