Neptune in New York

Tickets: $10 advanced, $15 at the door

Come one, come all, to an evening that celebrates storytelling, astrology, myth, singing and the heroes of New York City history. To complement City Lore’s recent Waterfront Heroes exhibit, performance artist and astrologer Nate Speare will perform a brief offering inspired by Poseidon’s (the astrological Neptune) role as creative catalyst, connected to the tension between water and humanity in regards to climate change, motion, psychic phenomena and evolution. A storytelling circle will follow the performance in which attendees are invited to share stories (from the personal to the folkloric) riffing on “water” or Neptune. Attendees may dress in water-themed attire and choose to participate, share a story, or listen quietly if they choose. Snacks, conversation and a chance to browse the current exhibit will conclude the evening.
