THAT SHOW

Created and produced by Kayla White and Taylor Schmuelgen; THAT SHOW is a community gathering and showcase of early career performance artists. Informed by a shared vision of a performance space that provides financial and operational support for risk taking and collaboration, their curatorial style has been described as “rooted in TLC: tender loving care” and one that “makes room for unbridled expression.” Taking place at Judson Memorial Church, we embrace a messy, do-it-yourself, community centered model to present and present multiple works in one evening.

Mystery School: Sin

Mystery School: Sin

Join us after worship from 1-2:30pm for Mystery School facilitated by Rev. Anike Rabiu, Rev. Noel Vanek + Marc Falcone.

Talking about sin ... what a lovely way to spend Mother's Day! Our timing is impeccable, no? Well, many people of faith today don't like to hear about sin, for a variety of reasons, but sometimes because that word has been weaponized against them. We're going to discuss that, and we're also going to look at conceptions and functions of sin in the religion of Jesus and other faith traditions that maye have enduring relevantce today. In addition to reviewing this week’s reading packet, consider the meaning and implications of these words that Marc heard preached in The Church of St. Joseph in Greenwich Village 25 years ago: Worry less than you do about the red hot sins, and worry more than you do about the cold, dark ones.

E-mail Marc at mfalcone.nyc@gmail.com to obtain the reading packet to prepare for the discussion.

Mining the Motherlode with Rev. Micah Bucey

As we honor Mother's Day and all who mother in myriad ways, Micah will lead a celebration of our most ancient mothering spirit, that of nature. As we fight for collective liberation for all living beings, how do we keep our minds and hearts also fixed on the Earth-shaped container that holds us all, especially when it seems like you can't do anything anymore without adding something to our continuing climate crisis?

Judson Arts Presents: That’s Keen's Mixtape with Monica Bill Barnes Company
May

Judson Arts Presents: That’s Keen's Mixtape with Monica Bill Barnes Company

About the Curator: Mona Mansour grew up in a Southern California suburb, the daughter of a Lebanese immigrant father and American mother from Seattle. She moved to New York in the wake of the Sept.11th attacks, when the Middle Eastern theater community was fired up by an urgent need to change the narrative around Arab-Americans. The questions around her own father, who left Lebanon by choice, took her to his village in Southern Lebanon, and an examination of the “villages'' next to it — the Palestinian camps Mieh-Mieh and Ain El Hilweh. This notion of displacement became central to what would become The Vagrant Trilogy, which made its NYC debut at The Public Theater in 2022, directed by Mark Wing-Davey. In 2019, Mona formed SOCIETY, with whom she has created Beginning Days of True Jubilation (New Ohio Theater), and the upcoming ENTANGLEMENT, co-written with Emily Zemba. Other credits: Unseen (Mosaic and OSF), The Way West at Labyrinth Theater and Steppenwolf. Awards: PEN America, Literature Award/Academy of Arts and Letters; Steinberg, Kesselring, Whiting. Beautiful Little Fool, written with Hannah Corneau and directed by Michael Greif, will receive its premiere in London in January 2026 at Southwark Playhouse. Her plays have been translated into Arabic, Italian, Romanian and Hungarian. TV: New Amsterdam and Ammo (in development) with Littleton Road and Fisher Stevens’ Highly Flammable.

Intentional Acts of Kindness

This Sunday, as we continue through Eastertide, we'll gather at table once again to share in the act that keeps us a community: Communion. We'll also welcome a young person into our community through another act of communal promise: Baptism. Micah will facilitate an exploration on why these two acts held our spiritual ancestors together and why they just might hold us together, even as so much continues to threaten to tear us apart. Come dine and dive. The meal and the water are always fine.

PEN America Festival

The World Voices Festival is PEN America’s annual celebration of writers, international literature, and free expression. Taking place from April 29 through May 2, with more than 140 writers from 40 countries, this year’s festival is an insistence on the power of literature and cross-cultural dialogue. This gathering of writers from every part of the globe is a potent reminder—in fact, an antidote in an era of censorship, nativism, and renewed isolationism—that books drive culture and the stories we tell can shape and transform our lives.
