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:Chinatown '75 Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Tours on May 11\, 17\, and 18\, 2025 from 11:00am to 12:30pm \nCHINATOWN ‘75 is an interactive walking tour that tells the story of the police brutality case that rocked Chinatown and the protest movement that arose in its wake. In May of 1975\, 25\,000 protesters marched from Chinatown to City Hall to demand justice for the beating of Peter Yew. CHINATOWN ‘75 traces the route of the original march in commemoration of its 50th anniversary. \nBased on archival research and oral histories with march participants\, CHINATOWN ‘75 uses the Peter Yew protests to paint an in-depth portrait of a transformative moment in Chinatown’s history. We’ll explore how the interactions between radical social movements\, community organizations\, and the NYPD shaped the ensuing demonstrations\, and how the iconic photographs of the march came to symbolize a generation of Asian American activism. \nTours will be led by Dr. Michael Menor Salgarolo\, a New York City-based historian\, walking tour guide\, retired stand-up comedian\, and founder of UNASSIMILATED Walking Tours. He holds a PhD in History from New York University\, where he teaches courses in Asian/Pacific/American Studies in the Department of Social & Cultural Analysis. \nThis walk is presented by UNASSIMILATED Walking Tours and Think!Chinatown\, as part of the 2025 Chinatown Storytelling Festival. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to Think!Chinatown.

SUMMARY:Ching Ho Cheng: Luminous Life and Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Panel conversation on the life and artistic legacy of Ching Ho Cheng with Sybao Cheng-Wilson\, Gordon Wilkins\, and Kyle Croft\n\n\nPlease join BANK NYC for a panel discussion on the life and artistic legacy of cultural luminary\, Ching Ho Cheng. This panel talk coincides with Cheng’s solo exhibition\, Tracing Infinity\, at BANK’s NYC pilot space from May 2 – June 14\, 2025. \nOur panelists\, Sybao Cheng-Wilson\, Director of the Estate of Ching Ho Cheng\, Gordon Wilkins\, Robert M. Walker Curator of American Art at the Addison Gallery of American Art\, and Kyle Croft\, Executive Director of Visual AIDS\, will contextualize Cheng’s work within the rich New York art scene of the 1970s and 1980s and offer critical perspectives on his practice as a prolific Asian American and LGBTQ artist. \nThis panel discussion precedes Cheng’s inclusion in Sixties Surreal at the Whitney Museum of American Art in Fall 2025 and his upcoming traveling retrospective\, Ching Ho Cheng: The Light Will Continue\, which will originate at the Addison Gallery of American Art in early 2027. This will be Cheng’s first major institutional retrospective\, which fervently reconsiders this Asian American artist’s often overlooked life and body of work. It will also be accompanied by a monograph published in collaboration with Visual AIDS. \n  \n\n\n\nSybao Cheng-Wilson was born and raised in New York City\, where both she and her mother studied at the Mayor School of Fashion Design. After graduating\, she moved to Paris and modeled for fashion icons Antonio Lopez and photographer Bill Cunningham while studying French and ballet. She returned to the US in the 1970s and created a collection of hand embroidered women’s wear with her mother\, distributed to boutiques and the finest department stores across the country. Cheng-Wilson was featured in New York Magazine’s Best Bets and Soho News. \nAs of 1989\, Cheng-Wilson has dedicated herself extensively to the stewardship and curatorial duties of Ching Ho Cheng’s extensive oeuvre as Director of the Estate of Ching Ho Cheng. She has organized posthumous solo exhibitions of her brother’s work at Shepherd W&K Galleries\, David Zwirner\, and Art Basel Miami\, as well as Cheng’s upcoming traveling retrospective at the Addison Gallery of American Art. \n  \n\n\n\nGordon Wilkins is the Robert M. Walker Curator of American Art at the Addison Gallery of American Art\, Phillips Academy\, Andover\, MA. Wilkins oversees the care\, exhibition\, and growth of the Addison’s world-renowned collection of American art across media with a particular focus on the art of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He has curated numerous exhibitions on a broad array of topics\, ranging from European-American perceptions of the natural world in the nineteenth century to 1970s Bay Area conceptual photography. Wilkins is currently working on several special exhibition projects\, notably Ching Ho Cheng: The Light Will Continue\, the artist’s first retrospective and posthumous solo museum exhibition. The exhibition will open in early 2027 at the Addison before travelling to additional venues. \n  \nBefore he arrived at the Addison in October 2018\, Wilkins served as the Assistant Curator for Exhibitions and Research at the Peabody Essex Museum\, Salem\, MA for three years where he helped organize several temporary and permanent exhibition projects and publications including the celebrated Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings (co-organized with the National Gallery of Art\, Washington). He has contributed to several scholarly publications\, including Unnamed Figures: Black Presence and Absence in the Early American North (2023) and Young\, Gifted and Black: A New Generation of Artists (2020)\, and has lectured widely. Wilkins has also served as an Adjunct Professor of the History of American Art at the University of New Hampshire. \n  \n\n\n\nKyle Croft is the Executive Director of Visual AIDS. In his seven years with the organization\, he has worked to preserve the legacies of artists lost to AIDS and support a global community of artists living with HIV. He is organizing the exhibition Ministry: Reverend Joyce McDonald\, opening this July at the Bronx Museum\, and has edited volumes on Darrel Ellis\, Frederick Weston\, and William Olander.

SUMMARY:The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:Reception & Book Signing to Follow \nTO RSVP In Person or zoom: https://host.nxt.blackbaud.com/registration-form/?formId=4acaad42-64c0-494d-b709-d724ab8837ff&envId=p-rzKFBb2xVk253Ulcjd_x1w&zone=usa \nMarking Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month at Roosevelt House\, please join us\, together with the Hunter College Asian American Studies Program\, for a discussion of the new Penguin Classics anthology\, The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration. The event will feature the volume’s coeditors Frank Abe and Floyd Cheung in conversation with Hunter College professor of education\, and the granddaughter—and daughter—of incarcerated Japanese Americans\, Cathlin Goulding. \nAn “essential volume\,” according to The New Yorker\, this anthology recovers\, and reframes\, the literature produced by those affected by the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II— based solely upon the race they shared with a wartime enemy. In a decision even FDR’s great admirers have condemned as one of the most indefensible of his presidency\, the Roosevelt administration expelled resident aliens as well as U.S. citizens from their homes\, imprisoning 125\,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry in camps—without due process. \nFrom the extensive collection of essays\, memoirs\, letters\, fiction\, and poetry in the anthology emerges a shared story of the struggle to retain personal integrity in the face of increasing dehumanization. The contributors span incarcerees\, their children born in or soon after the camps\, and their descendants who reflect on the long-term consequences of mass incarceration for themselves and the nation. \nMany of the voices in the book are those of protest. Some are those of accommodation. All are authentic. Together\, they form an epic narrative with a singular vision of America’s past—one with disturbing resonances with the American present. \nAs citizens are once again incarcerated without due process\, under the same Alien Enemies Act used during WWII\, please join us for this important historical—and yet urgent—discussion. \nFrank Abe is the lead author of the graphic novel We Hereby Refuse: Japanese American Resistance to Wartime Incarceration and a finalist in creative nonfiction for the Washington State Book Award. He wrote\, produced\, and directed the award-winning PBS documentary Conscience and the Constitution\, on the largest organized camp resistance\, and\, with writer Frank Chin\, helped create the first Day of Remembrance in Seattle in 1978. \nFloyd Cheung is a professor of English Language and Literature and American Studies at Smith College. Coeditor and contributor to Recovered Legacies: Authority and Identity in Early Asian American Literature\, he has worked on the recovery of writings by H.T. Tsiang\, Sadakichi Hartmann\, Kathleen Tamagawa\, Munio Makuuchi\, and others. \nCathlin Goulding is a Hunter College professor of education and curriculum designer. She co-directs the YURI Education Project\, which helps PK-12 educators teach and tell Asian American histories. Her grandparents were incarcerated at the Jerome and Gila River camps\, where her mother was born.
