This winner of the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, which originally starred Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn and was later revived with Julie Harris and Charles Durning, uses a card game as a metaphor for life. Weller Martin is playing solitaire on the porch of a seedy nursing home. Enter Fonsia Dorsey, a prim, self-righteous lady. They discover they both dislike the home and enjoy gin rummy, so they begin to play and to reveal intimate details of their lives. Fonsia wins every time, and their secrets become weapons used against one another.
“Perfect […] A vibrant study on loneliness, disillusion, old age and death yet fiercely funny.” –The Boston Globe
“A thoroughly entertaining lesson in the fine art of theatrical finesse. The closest thing the theatre offers to a duel at 10 paces.” –The New York Times
“Extremely intelligent […] fine bittersweet comedy […] Funny, sad, profane, eloquent, touching, beautiful.” –WABC-TV

Two legendary artists come together in a showcase for their respective versatility and the pliability of jazz and the avant-garde.
Laurie Anderson, violin and synthesizers
Christian McBride, bass
Rubin Kodheli, cello
Individually, Laurie Anderson and Christian McBride are titans in their respective fields: Anderson as an award-winning visual artist and innovative musician working in pop’s avant-garde and McBride as a Grammy®-winning jazz polymath equally adept at leading anything from small ensembles to big bands. Together, complemented by cellist Rubin Kodheli, Anderson’s violin and synthesizers and McBride’s bass form a unique and unexpected combination, leading The New York Times to call their 2017 concert at Town Hall one of the best live jazz performances of the year. This string-based trio blends the sound of several different worlds into a harmonious whole.

Guild Hall presents the debut collaborative performance from vocalist, composer, and soundscape artist, Viv Corringham, and multi-instrumentalist and electronic musician, Gian Carlo Feleppa. The artists perform solo and collaborative works ranging across their shared interest in improvised, found, and responsive sound. Corringham’s set-up centers on her voice, collected field recordings from her ongoing “sound-walk” project, and personal writings; exploring both the artist’s and listener’s sense of place and link to personal history and memory.
“Fragments of her voice flicker like the light bouncing over water…later drifting into ambiguous urban sound, a backdrop for her intermittent vocal solo. It’s a gorgeous, calming piece, new age in the best sense.” –The Wire, August 202 Issue
A contortionist of sound, Feleppa defies description. Playing sitar, keys, drums, vocals, and looping it all through a series of pedals, he creates original and spontaneous music; from traditional Indian ragas to original acoustic ballads to electronic looping mania.
