Pros(e) of Pie - May 4 - Hammond Museum & Japanese Stroll Garden
Event Information
Description
Gardens 6pm - Doors 7:30p - Show 8pm
Pros(e) of Pie, is bringing you another first this May. Thanks to a new collaboration with the Hammond Museum in North Salem, we're venturing inland a little farther than we'd normally dare. Join us for an evening of world-class contemporary storytelling - from around the neighborhood and across state lines - in the Hammond's main exhibition hall. Fear not, you'll have a chance to enjoy all their galleries before the show and during intermission. Or better yet, come even earlier to discover the many regions of their stunning Japanese stroll gardens. The Hammond's generously agreed to open the gardens at 6pm for PoP ticketholders!
*No pie bake-off this month. Light refreshments will be served.
You can sit back and enjoy the show or join the fun: sign up for a 5-mins open mic slot or submit an anonymous answer to a written prompt. We'll read your words for you. Either way, we’ll all be there to support and share.
