Theatre for a New Audience: The Tragedy of Coriolanus

Who should lead in a land where the political rules are rapidly shifting and reordering, class revolt is raging, and basic food has become unaffordable? Is there a place for Coriolanus (McKinley Belcher III), a noble war hero and uncompromising aristocrat, both admirable and detestable, who refuses to hide his contempt for the newly empowered plebeian citizens?
Director Ash K. Tata stages Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Coriolanus incorporating live performance and a media-saturated landscape where the alienation of gaming violence and screen combat are contrasted with the intensity of IRL battles, and the relationship of Volumnia (Roslyn Ruff) and her son Coriolanus gives human shape to the political drama.

This tour will also offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the process of putting together this exhibition at the Center for Brooklyn History.

Jazz Ain't Boring
2026-03-18 19:00 - 22:00
Jazz Ain’t Boring is a live music experience that explores how jazz continues to shape modern sound and dance culture. Blending DJ sets with live band performance, the program moves fluidly between classic jazz recordings, contemporary interpretations, and the hip-hop, house, and soul records they inspired.
Throughout the evening, DJs and musicians trade energy—moving from Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Lou Donaldson into the records that sampled them, from A Tribe Called Quest and Wu-Tang Clan to Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, and beyond.
The result is a dynamic listening and dance-floor experience that treats jazz not as museum music, but as a living foundation for groove, rhythm, and celebration.
Curated and hosted by #SampleSaleMusic members DJ Dottie Womack, Reg Wyns, Tai Allen, Emanuel Ruffler, and Ian Forde, the program highlights jazz’s enduring influence while inviting the audience to move, listen, and connect across generations of sound.

CBH Talk | Women Laughing: A Film Screening and Panel Discussion
2026-03-25 18:30 - 20:00
In celebration of Women’s History Month, join Center for Brooklyn History for a screening of the documentary Women Laughing, a joyful tribute to female humor and sensibility as expressed through the works and words of The New Yorker magazine’s women cartoonists. Directed by four-decade New Yorker cartoonist Liza Donnelly and award-winning filmmaker Kathleen Hughes, the film shines a spotlight on the sometimes quirky, occasionally angry, often poignant, but always insightful expression of women’s perspective and humor.
Following the screening, a panel discussion will feature four of the New Yorker cartoonists featured in the film: Liza Donnelly, Emily Flake, Liana Finck, and Bishakh Som. Together they reflect on their creative practices, female wit, and the power of women’s observations to bring insight, connection, cultural critique, and a hearty chuckle. Stand up comedian, writer and podcast host Ophira Eisenberg moderates.
