A note from Adrian Shirk: If you’re in the Catskills, come see my (!) long-awaited (!) return to the stage in “Proof” by David Auburn on March 21, 22 or 23. This will be a production of The Party, a theater company of which I am an ensemble member and with whom I devised the ongoing fever dream that is The Sleepover. OR consider making a tax-deductible donation to The Party’s 2024 season, which includes new works development, immersive productions, and a residency and performance series Kaats Cradle any of which YOU might one day wish to take part in!
