Our team is dedicated to making the arts available to the widest possible audience; and the majority of Lincoln Center Presents programs are either FREE or Choose-What-You-Pay. Join us as we break new ground, celebrate the vibrancy of New York City, and bring our constituents and partners together in new ways.

A mind-expanding concert performance of the latest work by Lucille Lortel Award winner and Guggenheim Fellow César Alvarez, created in collaboration with designer and visual artist Emily Orling, comes to the Atrium this April. Alvarez was born into a community of communist labor organizers who had survived the brutal murders of five of their members by the KKK in 1979—known as the Greensboro Massacre. Thirty-six years later, Alvarez has crafted The Potluck, a musical about ghosts, queerness, how to recuperate from trauma that happened to you before you were even born, and also capitalism.
