Overview
With a name that harkens back to a late 1800s New York vaudeville act, this moveable feast of an event—curated and presented by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and songwriter Paul Muldoon—combines music, prose and poetry, and high commentary and low comedy with an evolving lineup of world-class guests and house band Rogue Oliphant. We are delighted to present this beloved artist-curated omnium gatherum, and its mix of joyful casualness and breathtaking artistry, in our state-of-the-art new home.
