Lincoln Center’s free Storytime programming returns at Summer for the City—and, due to continued popular demand, we have scheduled two readings every Wednesday! Curated by The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts—which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year—Storytime events feature a children's book reading accompanied by live music, dance, or theater, engaging kids of all ages. Jennifer Jones, the first Black Rockette dancer, joins us for this children’s Storytime. Jones reads her illustrated children’s book, On the Line: My Story of Becoming the first African American Rockette, which tells her inspiring story of how she proved that everything is possible when you believe you belong.
