Another Kandisky-inspired presentation will be The Blue Rider in Performance. Armitage Gone!

The piece also features pianist Sarah Rothenberg and vocalist Susan Narucki. (Sept. 23-25).
Poet Ariana Reines will present the theatrical work Miss St.'s Hieroglyphic Suffering, starring Birgit Huppuch and directed by Ken Rus Schmoll. (Nov. 15-16).
Fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi will narrate a special presentation of Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. The encore presentation will feature New York City Opera's George Manahan conducting the Juilliard Ensemble. Tony winner Jennifer Tipton provides lighting design. (Dec. 10-14).
