SUMMARY:Andrew Sean Greer: Villa Coco
DESCRIPTION:Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Andrew Sean Greer visits Rizzoli Bookstore to celebrate the release of his latest novel\, Villa Coco. Known for his wit\, emotional insight\, and beautifully observed characters\, Greer returns with a story that explores love\, reinvention\, and the unexpected ways people rediscover themselves while navigating life’s second acts. \nSet against the backdrop of an idyllic Mediterranean retreat\, Villa Coco follows characters whose carefully constructed lives begin to unravel as old relationships resurface and long-buried secrets emerge. Blending humor\, romance\, and poignant reflection\, the novel examines themes of friendship\, aging\, ambition\, and the search for belonging with the warmth and intelligence that have become Greer’s signature. \nGreer has become one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary LGBTQ+ literature. His Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Less and its sequel Less Is Lost earned widespread acclaim for centering a gay protagonist in stories that move beyond coming-out narratives to explore universal experiences of love\, travel\, self-doubt\, and personal growth. With Villa Coco\, Greer continues his tradition of creating richly human characters whose lives resonate with readers of all backgrounds. \nThe evening will feature a conversation with the author about the inspiration behind the novel\, his writing process\, and the evolving landscape of queer literature\, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Held at the elegant Rizzoli Bookstore in the Flatiron District\, the event offers readers an opportunity to meet one of today’s most accomplished literary voices in an intimate setting.

SUMMARY:The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Live Shadow Cast
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to do the Time Warp again as *The Rocky Horror Picture Show* returns to Quad Cinema with a live shadow cast by Double Feature Productions. The 1975 cult musical becomes an interactive experience\, with performers acting out the movie in front of the screen while audiences sing\, dance\, shout callbacks\, and participate in the traditions that have made *Rocky Horror* midnight screenings legendary. \nDirected by Jim Sharman\, the film begins with straight-laced sweethearts Brad and Janet\, played by Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon\, whose unexpected visit to a mysterious castle introduces them to Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Tim Curry’s unforgettable performance as the high-heeled\, corset-wearing mad scientist helped transform the character—and the movie itself—into an enduring symbol of sexual freedom\, gender nonconformity\, and unapologetic self-expression. \n*The Rocky Horror Picture Show* holds a particularly important place in LGBTQ+ cultural history. Although its depictions of gender and sexuality reflect the era in which it was made\, generations of queer audiences found freedom in its celebration of outsiders\, camp\, fluid sexuality\, and characters who enthusiastically reject conventional expectations. Its participatory screenings also became communal spaces where LGBTQ+ people and other outsiders could gather\, dress up\, perform\, and find community. \nAt the Quad\, audiences are encouraged to take part in the full *Rocky Horror* experience\, including callbacks and audience participation. First-timers—traditionally known as “Virgins” in *Rocky Horror* culture—are welcome\, with an interactive pre-show ritual introducing newcomers to the basics before the movie begins. \nWith performances scheduled from late summer through Halloween weekend\, these screenings offer New Yorkers several opportunities to experience a queer cult classic the way generations of fans have embraced it: surrounded by an enthusiastic audience and a live cast ready to make the movie leap off the screen.

SUMMARY:The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Live Shadow Cast
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to do the Time Warp again as *The Rocky Horror Picture Show* returns to Quad Cinema with a live shadow cast by Double Feature Productions. The 1975 cult musical becomes an interactive experience\, with performers acting out the movie in front of the screen while audiences sing\, dance\, shout callbacks\, and participate in the traditions that have made *Rocky Horror* midnight screenings legendary. \nDirected by Jim Sharman\, the film begins with straight-laced sweethearts Brad and Janet\, played by Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon\, whose unexpected visit to a mysterious castle introduces them to Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Tim Curry’s unforgettable performance as the high-heeled\, corset-wearing mad scientist helped transform the character—and the movie itself—into an enduring symbol of sexual freedom\, gender nonconformity\, and unapologetic self-expression. \n*The Rocky Horror Picture Show* holds a particularly important place in LGBTQ+ cultural history. Although its depictions of gender and sexuality reflect the era in which it was made\, generations of queer audiences found freedom in its celebration of outsiders\, camp\, fluid sexuality\, and characters who enthusiastically reject conventional expectations. Its participatory screenings also became communal spaces where LGBTQ+ people and other outsiders could gather\, dress up\, perform\, and find community. \nAt the Quad\, audiences are encouraged to take part in the full *Rocky Horror* experience\, including callbacks and audience participation. First-timers—traditionally known as “Virgins” in *Rocky Horror* culture—are welcome\, with an interactive pre-show ritual introducing newcomers to the basics before the movie begins. \nWith performances scheduled from late summer through Halloween weekend\, these screenings offer New Yorkers several opportunities to experience a queer cult classic the way generations of fans have embraced it: surrounded by an enthusiastic audience and a live cast ready to make the movie leap off the screen.

SUMMARY:Fran Lebowitz: An Evening at The Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Writer\, social commentator\, and New York icon Fran Lebowitz returns to The Town Hall for two evenings of conversation\, observations\, and sharp-witted commentary on contemporary life. Known for her unmistakable perspective on culture\, politics\, art\, and New York City\, Lebowitz remains one of America’s most distinctive public intellectuals. \nFor decades\, Lebowitz has cultivated a devoted following through her essays\, interviews\, and public appearances. Her ability to blend humor\, criticism\, and cultural observation has made her a beloved figure among artists\, writers\, and LGBTQ+ audiences alike. \nThe evenings are expected to feature audience questions and Lebowitz’s signature reflections on everything from city life and literature to politics and the absurdities of modern culture. No two appearances are ever quite the same\, making each event a unique experience. \nWhether known from her books\, documentary appearances\, or Martin Scorsese’s Pretend It’s a City\, Lebowitz continues to be one of New York’s most entertaining and insightful voices.
