Love at first sight is easy… letting it through the front door is a freaking Odyssey.
All he wants to do is let the perfect man in. But can he overcome his unhinged neighbor, a seductive cult, a self-obsessed vampire, and a cat intent on dragging him to hell?
Written and performed by Todd Almond (Girl from the North Country, Gossip Girl) and directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer (Good Night, and Good Luck; The Band’s Visit), I’m Almost There is a rueful, hilarious, and poignant modern love story in song about a man crossing a sea of doubts to find happiness… and good coffee. Initially developed by the award-winning producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe hit comes to BAM for a three-week run ahead of a major US tour.
Joined onstage by musicians Erin Hill (harp/vocals) and Noah Max Amick (bass), Almond weaves his deeply personal, universally relatable songs into a luminous, lyrical confession about fear, longing, and the courage it takes to let love in. It’s intimate yet epic and laugh-out-loud funny in all the places it hurts most.
I’m Almost There was commissioned by Audible and first produced in Edinburgh and New York City by Audible, Francesca Moody Productions, and DryWrite.

Crime Wave Book Club with Andrei & Patrick
2026-06-24 18:30 - 20:30
Join McNally Jackson for a walk on the wiiiiild side of crime fiction. We’ll tour through the hardboiled classics of Chandler, Cain and Hammett; acquaint ourselves with contemporary masters like Ellroy and Mosley; international noir in translation; the fractured psyches of Thompson and Highsmith; even genre-bending experiments in horror and science-fiction!
We’ve got something to satisfy any and all tastes for all you darkly depraved delinquents.
This month we’ll discuss Patricia Highsmith’s well crafted thriller with a queer twist, The Talented Mr. Ripley.
[A] masterwork of American noir.…Scene by masterful scene, sentence by sentence, with each disturbing thought and memory, Highsmith reveals how Ripley’s psyche veers out of bounds, a slow drip punctuated by shocking jumps.— Carole V. Bell, NPR
Murder, in Patricia Highsmith’s hands, is made to occur almost as casually as the bumping of a fender or a bout of food poisoning. This downplaying of the dramatic… has been much praised, as has the ordinariness of the details with which she depicts the daily lives and mental processes of her psychopaths. Both undoubtedly contribute to the domestication of crime in her fiction, thereby implicating the reader further in the sordid fantasy that is being worked out.— Robert Towers – New York Review of Books
It’s here, in the first volume of Patricia Highsmith’s five-book Ripley series, that we are introduced to the suave Tom Ripley, a young striver seeking to leave behind his past as an orphan bullied for being a “sissy.” Newly arrived in the heady world of Manhattan, Ripley meets a wealthy industrialist who hires him to bring his playboy son, Dickie Greenleaf, back from gallivanting in Italy. Soon Ripley’s fascination with Dickie’s debonair lifestyle turns obsessive as he finds himself enraged by Dickie’s ambivalent affections for Marge, a charming American dilettante, and Ripley begins a deadly game. “Sinister and strangely alluring” (Mark Harris, Entertainment Weekly) The Talented Mr. Ripley serves as an unforgettable introduction to this smooth confidence man, whose talent for self-invention is as unnerving—and unnervingly revealing of the American psyche—as ever.

Join HCX on Thursdays for the Mizik Ayiti! Residency Series. The Spring residency will be held by Rasin Okan!
This residency honors the legacy of mizik rasin in Haiti and abroad and its role in collective storytelling. Rasin Okan will share popular folk songs from legends such as Lenord Fortune (a.k.a. Azor) and Jacques Fortere (a.k.a. Wawa), as well as original songs that echo the courage of Haiti’s freedom fighters while calling us to remember, reconnect, and rise. This residency is a sacred pilgrimage home—a journey for healing, reflection, and protection. We invite you to take this symbolic trip with us through rhythm, drum, dance, and song. Let the music move your spirit. Let the memory ignite your soul.
45-minute performances will take place at 6:30 & 7:45 PM on each Thursday.

About Rasin Okan: Born of Haiti’s mizik rasin movement, Rasin Okan is a Brooklyn-based Haitian roots ensemble. In the spirit of rasin sèch (directly translated to dry roots), Rasin Okan emphasizes the sounds and songs of traditional Haitian Vodou ceremonial music without much electric accompaniment. Led and co-founded by Jean E. Montina, Sanba Mayombe, the group writes original songs and evocative folk music to insight the revolutionary spirit of Haiti’s freedom fighters, set to a pulsating rhythm.
Members: Jean E Montina (Sanba Mayombe), Trudy Pierre (Sanba Verite), Wilgainson Toussaint (Sanba Nènèl), Gregory Fanor (Atis Alèz), Véronëque Ignace (Awoyo)

Celebrating 80 Years of Penguin Classics
2026-06-25 19:00 - 21:00
Join the Center for Fiction for an evening celebrating the 80th anniversary of Penguin Classics and its long-standing mission to ignite a universal love of reading, connect writers with global audiences, and publish high-quality literature. They are pleased to welcome Elda Rotor, Vice President and Publisher of Penguin Classics, as the evening’s moderator. In conversation with Rotor, acclaimed writers Nicole Dennis-Benn, Roxane Gay, and Xochitl Gonzalez will reflect on the evolving role of the classics and the exciting ways in which contemporary voices continue to expand, challenge, and reinterpret the literary canon.
As recent contributors to Penguin Classics editions, Dennis-Benn, Gay, and Gonzalez build upon Penguin Classics’ commitment to new perspectives. In Brown Girl, Brownstones, Dennis-Benn’s foreword highlights the novel’s enduring relevance in conversations about migration and identity. In The Portable Feminist Reader, Gay curates a diverse collection of feminist thought that illuminates the evolution and complexities of the feminist canon. In A Room of One’s Own, Gonzalez’s introduction essay reexamines Virginia Woolf’s call for creative freedom by breaking down gender, race, and class, extending her message to a broader audience. Together with Rotor, whose visionary leadership has helped guide Penguin Classics’ celebrated publishing program and launch several innovative series, the panel will reflect on the lasting legacy of the classics. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today!
Supporter Tickets include a complimentary Penguin Classics tote bag in appreciation of your contribution to The Center for Fiction.

Rocío Sánchez: Monarch Butterfly
2026-06-27 20:00 - 22:00
ISSUE Project Room celebrates the 20th Anniversary of its Artists-In-Residence (AIR) program throughout 2026 with performances by current residents and returning alumni. This anniversary season highlights AIRs whose work reflects the ongoing evolution of a much broader community of experimental artists who have helped shape ISSUE for over twenty years.
Saturday, June 27th at 8pm, ISSUE presents Monarch Butterfly by 2026 Artist-In-Residence rocío sánchez featuring Melissa Almaguer (tap dance and percussion) and Kenneth Jiménez (double bass). Together, the trio explores the elusive monarch’s migratory journey through sound and movement, with each instrument articulating distinct states of motion.
Drawing from close observation and sketching of monarch flight patterns, sánchez developed a score in which the sounds gradually emerge, echoing the increased activity of the butterflies in warmer weather. As rising spring temperatures prompt northward migration from wintering grounds in Mexico, the performance similarly expands in density and proximity: gestures gather, overlap, and eventually, recede.
At once a study of collective movement and a response to a species under threat, Monarch Butterfly examines the fragile rhythms of the monarch’s lifecycle through an evolving, interdependent ensemble.
