Lincoln Center Theater & Ragtime Honor Immigrants

Lincoln Center Theater & Ragtime Honor Immigrants

  • Vivian Beaumont Theater, Lincoln Center (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

In recognition of National Immigrant Heritage Month, Lincoln Center Theater will gather a remarkable group of visionary leaders to celebrate the extraordinary ways immigrants have shaped—and continue to shape—the cultural, intellectual, and civic fabric of this country.

This special evening is alongside a performance of our Lincoln Center’s production of Ragtime.

For over four decades, Lincoln Center Theater has championed storytelling that reflects the complexity, ambition, and evolving identity of American life. Few works embody that mission more powerfully than Ragtime, a soaring portrait of a nation straining toward its promise. Set at the dawn of the twentieth century, the musical traces the intertwined lives of newcomers to America, Black Americans, and families striving toward opportunity, dignity, and belonging—a portrait of a country transformed by those who come to it, and by the contributions they make to its culture, conscience, and future.

please join us on June 23rd at the Vivian Beaumont Theater

Ragtime!

The production is directed by Lear deBessonet, who also holds the position of Kewsong Lee Artistic Director of Lincoln Center Theater

Book by Terrence McNally
Music by Stephen Flaherty
Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Based on the novel, "Ragtime," by E.L. Doctorow
Directed by Lear deBessonet

please join us on June 23rd at the Vivian Beaumont Theater

New Book: No Dog

A new fashionable way of walking swept through the snazzier sections of the dying American empire in the first quarter of the 21st century, namely walking as if you had a fancy dog on a leash.

Among these street aristocrats one could glimpse now and then a number of clones walking and running like their fashion idols, with one shoulder higher than the other, heads lifted in expectation of the wind ruffling their tresses, and a covert vibe that read "Dig my dog?"

I tried. But when I looked at where the object of their pride should have trotted or minced, there was nothing. No dog.

interview | animation | bio | poetry | happenings

directed by Julian Semilian | produced by Clark Peterson

Director Julian Semilian’s documentary-collage centers around the life and times of.... From Dada to quadrupedalism, this ode to free-thinking and free-wheeling.is s a playful paean that counters all forms of functional fixedness

Julian and Andrei met in Italy in 1966 as both fled post WWII Romania – they actually arrived together in the US. If you get them together and give them a drink – they’ll regale you with stories of jumping from bridges, seductions by princesses and appearing in Pasolini films! It’s a pleasure to watch these two avant-savants meld on screen

Experimental filmmaker Julian Semilian is a film editor, teacher, poet, translator, and novelist. What he won’t tell you is that he learned his art from Bernie Gribble, legendary editor on a number midcentury films, including Death Wish. Julian is a very modest, fantastic director, producer, translator, and a well-loved professor of film. Learn more here
