SUMMARY:Broadway: Maybe Happy Ending
DESCRIPTION:Emmy® and Golden Globe Award® winner Darren Criss (Little Shop of Horrors) returns to Broadway alongside Helen J Shen in the new romantic musical comedy MAYBE HAPPY ENDING.  A New York Times Critics’ Pick \nInside a one-room apartment on the outskirts of Seoul\, Oliver lives a happily quiet life\, listening to jazz records and caring for his favorite plant. But what else is there to do when you’re a Helperbot 3\, a robot that has long been retired and considered obsolete? When his fellow Helperbot neighbor Claire asks to borrow his charger\, what starts as an awkward encounter leads to a unique friendship\, a surprising adventure\, and maybe even…love? \nWinner of the Richard Rodgers Award\, MAYBE HAPPY ENDING is the offbeat and captivating story of two outcasts near the end of their warranty who discover that even robots can be swept off their feet. Helmed by visionary director and Tony Award® winner Michael Arden (Parade\, Once on This Island)\, with a dazzling scenic design by Dane Laffrey (A Christmas Carol) and book\, music\, and lyrics by the internationally acclaimed duo Will Aronson and Hue Park\, MAYBE HAPPY ENDING is a fresh\, original musical about the small things that make any life worth living.

SUMMARY:Exhibit:  "The Monkey King in Chinatown" by AAPI Comic Book and Graphic Novel Artists
DESCRIPTION:The Monkey King is the epitome of tricksterdom. First appearing in the 14th-century Chinese novel\, “Journey to the West\,” the character born as Sun Wukong embodies rebellion\, individualism\, and daring. He’s also the inspiration behind the stunning works in this exhibition. \nCurator Jerry Ma’s modern Monkey King idea began with his first exhibition at Pearl River Mart\, A CHINATOWN ODYSSEY (which inspired his graphic novel). This solo show was his reimagining of the mythical creature and his legendary cohorts on adventures — and misadventures — throughout NYC’s Chinatown. \nThis new exhibition\, featuring the works of eight renowned AAPI comic book and graphic novel artists\, furthers those adventures. The pieces reimagine the simian folk hero as everything from a punk rocker to a dancing king to a ferocious b-baller. They place him in iconic Chinatown spots\, like Columbus Park with its Chinese chess enthusiasts\, the Canal Street subway station (complete with pizza rat)\, a lively dim sum eatery\, and the Transfiguration Church and beloved Hop Kee restaurant. \nThey connect the past with the present\, bringing a Chinese legend into a Chinese American community\, and beyond. They make him part of that community. Eating\, dancing\, playing\, and laughing alongside its members. \nThe exhibition also features the artists’ works from their careers as comic book and graphic novel artists\, and is accompanied by installations in Chelsea Market and the outdoor tables of the Meatpacking District. Both framed and unframed prints are available for purchase. \nThe featured artists: \n\nBernard Chang\nSean Chen\nCliff Chiang\nSoo Lee\nHoward Ma\nJerry Ma (curator)\nJerome Opeña\nKimberly Wang

SUMMARY:Discovery within Tradition: Kimono\, Dance and Music
DESCRIPTION:Japan Performing Arts\, Inc. has been producing “Discovery within Traditions: Kimono\, Dance & Music” as one of our continuing series of Free\n\n\nFor this season (Spring 2025)\, we are featuring “Aizome” dye and “Washi” paper culture from Tokushima Prefecture\, the home of Awa Odori dance. \nNote: \nJPA’s “Discovery within Traditions: Kimono\, Dance & Music – Spring 2025” is our annual Free Public Program. There will be 3:00 pm and 6:30 pm shows (i.e twice on the show date). \nThe doors open at 2:40pm (for the 3pm show) and at 6:10pm (for the 6:30pm show) \nIn order to ensure the seat availability (the theater capacity is limited up to160seats)\, please make sure to make your booking via Eventbrite. Without a booking\, you may not be able to enter the theater. The seats are going to be assigned by first-come\, first-served basis\, so with your booking\, we recommend you to come to the theater early. \nThe show is roughly divided into the parts of: Nihon Buyo\, Kimono Culture\, and Awa Odori. Each has its core cultural values that are important in Japanese culture. The show will explain such essential details. \n\n\n\n\nFor Nihon Buyo\, classical dance pieces of “Seigaiha\,” “Kanda Matsuri\,” and “Ayame Yukata” will be shown together with the explanations of subtle movements of the female dancers in “Ohikizuri” costume. Nihon Buyo is a very unique dance. One of the reasons is the costume of Kimono. If without the costume\, the movements and the dance form could look extremely ridiculous or unnatural. JPA has been aiming to explain such Nihon Buyo details as much as possible. \n  \n\n\n\nFrom about three years ago\, JPA has been giving spotlight on one of the characteristics of kimono costume\, which we have been calling as “Kimono: Tradition of Sustainable Fashion” explaining the eco-friendly aspects of Kimono culture. Many amazing hand-craftsmanship techniques are involved in the art of Kimono. JPA has been paying attention to the lack of succession issues for such craftsmanship in Japan\, so our activities include the introduction of these impressive traditional techniques. At this show\, we will introduce Tokushima Prefecture’s proud “Japan Blue” color “Aizome” dye and “Washi” paper also from Tokushima. \n  \n\n\n\n\nTokushima Prefecture has one of the largest dance festivals in Japan: “Awa Odori.” It is not simply a dance for a festival\, but it is one of the “Bon Odori” dances that are rooted in a Buddhist ritual in the mid-summer season all over Japan. There are “Bon Odori” dances that are commonly danced all over Japan as well as ones very specific from the localities. “Awa Odori” is one of the very unique dances from Tokushima Prefecture. \n  \n\n\nWe’re thrilled to share that Nodoka Yamamura\, a contemporary washi artist born in Tokyo and now based in Tokushima\, will be exhibiting her beautiful works – featuring AIZOME (Indigo)\, SAKURA (Cherry Blossoms)\, and her signature “NODOKA” patterns – outside the venue entrance. Artworks will be available for purchase. She will also be performing in the Awa Odori dance during the event-don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience her artistry in both visual and performance forms! \n\n\n\nThis is a two-our show. There will be a desk at the first floor of Symphony Space theater. Please show your booking confirmation at the desk and enter Leonard Nimoy Theater downstairs. \nSee you at the theater!!
