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.

McNally Jackson Book Talk: John of John by Douglas Stuart

Judson Arts Presents: 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.
Streetworks x Housing Works: Kiki Ball
A Kiki Ball is a vibrant and affirming celebration rooted in ballroom culture—an expressive space where LGBTQ+ community members, primarily Black and Latinx youth, come together to showcase their creativity through fashion, dance (voguing), and performance. These gatherings offer newcomers a chance to practice their craft, build confidence, and be embraced by chosen families known as “houses.”
