A Streetcar Named Desire
Friday, February 28th through Wednesday, March 12th
Location: BAM Strong, Harvey Theater
Tickets: start at $35
Hot off two sold-out runs in London’s West End, this staggering revival of Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire stars Oscar nominee Paul Mescal (Gladiator II, Aftersun, All of Us Strangers) alongside Patsy Ferran (Living, God’s Own Country) and Anjana Vasan (Killing Eve, Black Mirror), arriving at BAM for a limited five-week run.
Olivier Award-winning director Rebecca Frecknall (Cabaret, Summer and Smoke) helms an empathetic and powerful vision of one of the greatest American plays ever written.
In the sweltering heat of New Orleans summer, a woman’s grip on the world begins to slip. When Blanche arrives at her sister Stella’s doorstep, desperate and out of options, her complicated past ignites a smoldering tension within the walls of the stifling apartment. And all the while, Stella’s husband Stanley—played by Mescal with unique “swagger and sensitivity” (The New York Times)—stalks the truths that Blanche so desperately wants to keep buried. Soon, Blanche’s meticulously constructed facade begins to crack and peel, offering an intimate and compelling picture of darker currents pulsating underneath.
MOMO
Thursday, March 6th through Saturday, March 8th
Location: Peter Jay Sharp Building, Howard Gilman Opera House
Tickets: start at $35
MOMO has two souls. One sends long roots to the depths of the earth, embodying archetypes and myths of hardened, raw, masculinity; the other is in a constant search for a distinct DNA. One soul moves within its own autonomous and independent force field; the other is a constellation of elements that spin around the same nucleus, alternately drifting towards it and away, making room for necessary tenderness and catharsis.
With a soundtrack composed mostly of the album Landfall by the legendary Laurie Anderson and Kronos Quartet, a shared passion of deep sorrow and beauty unfolds on stage in this rapturous dance work. Relinquishment becomes a dedicated search for a crack, and glitches in the movement code turn out to be free, playful, and emotive material. MOMO is an evocative exploration of the medium from a titan of contemporary dance.

NEW EXHIBITION:
Fallout: Atoms for War & Peace
March 13th through September 7th
Two days before the outbreak of World War II, a scientific paper was published explaining the theoretical process of nuclear fission in which the controlled splitting of an atomic nucleus releases a vast amount of energy.
Over the next decade, scientists around the world would perfect the process of harnessing that energy, developing two of the most impactful inventions of the modern era: the nuclear bomb and the nuclear power station.
This exhibition chronicles the global development of the nuclear industry, for peaceful and offensive means, examining posters that both promoted and protested its use throughout the second half of the 20th century. It features the entire General Dynamics series, long heralded as one of the finest examples of corporate propaganda ever created, as well as over 60 other posters criticizing the proliferation of nuclear technology.
NEW EXHIBITION:
Puerto Rico in Print: The Posters of Lorenzo Homar

This exhibition focuses on his poster output over a thirty year period during which time his work reflected the complex history of Puerto Rico, encompassing elements of Taíno, Spanish, and African cultures as well as the rising tensions between tradition and modernity under the Luis Muñoz Marín government. His influence is so extensive that today he is known as the father of the Puerto Rican poster.

Chef Mary Ellen Muzio’s Gluten-Free Chickpea Crepes
This is a great gluten-free recipe. It goes well with soups and every time I’ve made it, I tweak it a bit. I use a cast iron pan, which takes a longer to heat up, but then stays hot longer. I also let the batter sit for 20-30 minutes, which improves its hydration and consistency.
Adding more water makes a thinner, more delicate crepe that bakes faster. Less water makes a crepe that’s a bit more cake-y. A thicker batter will also work better if you want smaller, individual crepes. Depending on the thickness, you may have to turn over the crepe and brown the other side.
Try adding chives, chopped garlic, sliced cherry tomatoes, chili sauce, parmesan cheese, or other ingredients for extra deliciousness. Additions require a careful eye so they don’t burn because the pan is so hot.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chickpea flour
- 2 cups water
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- A bit more extra virgin olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Combine the chickpea flour and water in a large bowl. Stir to blend, then stir in the oil and sea salt.
- Brush a 12-inch paella or pizza pan with oil and place in the oven until the oil sizzles, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour about one-fourth of the batter into the hot pan, tipping and swirling to coat the pan evenly; it should be about an eighth of an inch thick.
- Place the pan into the center of the oven and bake until the crepe is firm and just beginning to brown around the edges, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle with additional EVOO if desired, and season generously with fresh ground black pepper. Gently remove the crepe from the pan.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Cut the crepes into wedges and serve immediately.
February might be the shortest month of the year, but we’re making it one of the most flavorful. At Great Performances, we’re embracing a fun and thoughtful challenge: Gluten-Free February! It’s our way of raising awareness about the realities of living gluten-free—whether for health reasons, dietary preferences, or just as a way to shake things up in the kitchen.
For many, “gluten-free” is more than a trendy label—it’s a necessity. Gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, can trigger serious health issues for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. And while the idea of going gluten-free might conjure up visions of saying goodbye to bread, pasta, and pastries, there’s a world of delicious possibilities waiting to be explored.
Navigating the Gluten-Free World
One of the most eye-opening parts of this challenge is realizing just how many everyday foods contain gluten—sometimes in unexpected places. Soy sauce? Most brands contain wheat. Many soups and sauces? Thickened with flour. Even some brands of oats, though naturally gluten-free, can be cross-contaminated during processing.
That’s why we’re making it easy. Throughout February, we’ll be offering gluten-free family meals, and our restaurants and cafés at our venues will be highlighting special gluten-free dishes. Whether you’re an expert in gluten-free living or just testing the waters, we invite you to join us in discovering new flavors, sharing your experiences, and celebrating the joys (and occasional frustrations!) of this journey.
Simple Gluten-Free Swaps
Going gluten-free doesn’t have to mean giving up your favorite meals—it just takes a little creativity. Here are some easy swaps to try:
- Pasta: Swap traditional wheat pasta for rice noodles, quinoa pasta, or chickpea pasta.
- Flour: Try almond flour, coconut flour, or a gluten-free all-purpose blend for baking and cooking.
- Bread: Look for gluten-free bread options made with ingredients like millet, sorghum, or brown rice flour—or try lettuce wraps instead!
- Breadcrumbs: Crushed cornflakes, almond meal, or gluten-free panko make great alternatives.
- Soy Sauce: Tamari is a great gluten-free substitute that delivers the same umami punch.
Gluten-Free Snacks to Love
Need a quick, gluten-free bite? These snacks will keep you satisfied:
- Rice cakes with almond butter and honey
- Hummus with fresh veggies
- Popcorn with sea salt and nutritional yeast
- Greek yogurt with berries and granola (just make sure the granola is gluten-free!)
- Roasted chickpeas or nuts for a crunchy, protein-packed option
- Dark chocolate and dried fruit for a sweet treat
Going gluten-free—even temporarily—offers a new way to think about food, try new flavors, and gain a deeper appreciation for what goes into every meal. Whether you’re joining in for the full month or just dipping a toe in, we’d love to hear about your experiences. Share your favorite gluten-free recipes, your go-to snacks, or the unexpected challenges (and wins!) you’ve encountered along the way.
Here’s to a delicious, gluten-free February!
This year, Chef Andrew Smith, Culinary Director, curated our Food Festivals and prepared some delicious recipes to help celebrate the ingredient!
While technically a berry because they contain seeds, chilis are better know for their spicy flavor. Originally from South and Central America, chilis are now grown in warm climates around the world and have become a staple in many cultural diets.
Chilis are often added to dishes to provide a boost of flavor and varying level of spice. Did you also know that chilis help boost your immune system? Chilis have a significant amount of Vitamin C – even more than oranges! Spicy foods are also shown to reduce inflammation and decrease your chances of getting heart disease.
Below is a Dried Chili Salsa recipe that is perfect for multiple uses – enjoy as a dip or use as a topping for your favorite dishes.

- Store under refrigeration for up to two weeks using as a condiment on your favorite taco
Call me old fashioned, but in this era of electronic greetings, I prefer to wish a Happy Birthday or Happy Anniversary with a hand-written snail-mail note card. I have taken this pleasure to a new level by actually creating them myself. With a stack of plain paper and a resource box brimming with clippings from catalogues, magazines & re-purposed cards (along with a sharp scissor and trusty glue-stick), I craft my own unique special-occasion greeting. And with pilot pen in hand, I dash off the message in my catholic-girls-school cursive handwriting….another lost art in itself. Voila – from me to you!
At Great Performances, we love celebrating the incredible stories of our team members. Today, we turn the spotlight on Blythe Lockwood, one of our talented team members and a resident of The Rehearsal Club (TRC) in New York City.
A Conversation with Blythe Lockwood
How long have you lived in New York City, and where are you from originally?
I’ve been in New York for just 10 months! I moved here from colorful Colorado, where I grew up dreaming of Broadway and the stage.
What inspired your move to New York City?
The city’s Broadway and theatre history is unmatched. If there’s a place to pursue a dream in musical theatre, it’s NYC. I’ve wanted to perform on Broadway since I was four years old, so it was a no-brainer for me. Originally, I planned to move in September 2023, but I stayed an extra six months in Colorado to co-direct a musical and take some advanced dance classes. It was worth the wait—I felt so much more prepared when I finally arrived!
How did you first hear about The Rehearsal Club, and what drew you to it?
I learned about TRC in September 2023, and it instantly caught my attention. The idea of a sanctuary for women in the arts, with subsidized rent and a network of connections, felt like it was tailor-made for people like me. I just knew it was the right fit.
Was there an audition process to join the Club?
Oh, absolutely! It was quite a process. I submitted video reels of myself singing and acting, along with a headshot, cover letter, and resume. Then came the interview with the board and past residents—it was nerve-wracking but so rewarding. Finally, I had to submit my qualifications for renting a unit. It took about a month and a half to finalize everything. Even though I was accepted, there wasn’t a room available at the time, so I had to wait. I officially became a resident in September 2024, almost a year after I first applied.
When did you start working with Great Performances?
I joined GP in June 2024, and it’s been such an amazing experience. The people I’ve met here are incredible. There’s such a sense of camaraderie—everyone’s in it together, even during those long 12-hour shifts. It’s been such a supportive environment.
What does a typical day look like for you?
On audition days, I’m up early to get to the audition house by 7 a.m. to sign my name on the non-union list. Then I grab coffee and breakfast before waiting for the auditions to start. If I get seen, it completely makes my day! When I’m not auditioning, I spend my time cleaning, hanging out with friends, working my real estate job, and picking up shifts with GP. I like staying busy—it keeps me energized and happy.
What would you like others to know about you?
I’ve been dreaming about performing on Broadway since I was a little girl, and being in this city feels like I’m one step closer to that goal. Sure, New York can feel overwhelming at times, but it’s also the place where dreams come true. My biggest advice is to always follow your passion. It’s never too late to go after what makes you happiest—shoot for the stars!
Great Performances: A Legacy of Supporting Artists
When Great Performances was founded, it began as a staffing agency with a clear mission: to create opportunities for women in the arts, whether they were between gigs or seeking new paths. Our founder and CEO, Liz Neumark, envisioned a platform that would empower women to advance their careers while providing meaningful work. Over the years, Liz has continued to innovate, finding creative ways to help artists thrive.
This mission resonates deeply with the work of The Rehearsal Club, which has been a safe haven for young women in the performing arts since 1913. After partnering with Webster Apartments in 2018, TRC relaunched its residency program to provide safe, affordable housing and a nurturing community for artists. Today, aspiring residents can apply online through rehearsalclubnyc.com, and men and women alike are welcome to join as non-residency General Members. In October 2023, TRC celebrated its 110th anniversary, marking over a century of dedication to fostering talent in the arts.
A Bright Future Ahead
As a part of the Great Performances family and a resident of The Rehearsal Club, Blythe Lockwood continues to inspire us with her determination and passion. Her journey reminds us of the power of perseverance and the importance of creating opportunities for artists to shine. Here’s to supporting dreamers like Blythe, one audition and one event at a time.

A dream long-lost–or so I thought.
Like many children, one of the first extracurriculars introduced to my young and disruptively energetic self was that which might be both enriching, and give my mom a few spare hours of solitude–dance.
The local studio was widely known for providing education in an array of styles. Tap, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, and of course, ballet.
In the beginning, I took to them all with equal intrigue and excitement. But it wasn’t long before ballet began to outpace the others. A lover of stories and storytelling, the narrative undercurrent of the artform called to me.
The ability to embody such a range of characters, to step into their confidence, their vulnerability, their bravery, was a skill I’d not yet mastered in my personal life. Afraid to be called on in class, yet confident on stage before hundreds of strangers–the juxtaposition was a phenomenon my parents and teachers could not comprehend.
Ballet became a sacred place in which I shed the fear of being seen.
Yet as all easily distracted and exploratory teens are, I cycled through years of numerous hyper-fixations and hobbies, dance eventually taking a back seat. Sports team practices prevented any other outside indulgences, and besides, stereotypes would protest against my ancient age of fifteen’s ability to go professional. So what was the point?
I carried on, pocketing that part of me in favor of whatever came next. The following nine years were a period of immense growth, the standard early-twenties affair of broken hearts and moving away from home.
Arriving at the start of 2024 with a list of broad-stroke resolutions to help reconnect with myself, I was determined to re-introduce things I’d abandoned to my flighty youth.
Many years it may have been, my love for ballet remained safely tucked away, occasionally pulled from the drawer of days past to reminisce over fondly with wistful sighs of “What if?”
My hometown in Ohio had provided little opportunity for exploring such a question, especially at 24. But New York City held an abundance of it. A single Google search produced dozens of studios offering adult ballet, from beginner to professional to performances. It was a gold mine for the regret of an ignorant teen who wished she’d known what she was giving up before it was gone.
I wasn’t going to let it pass me by a second time. One class turned to two, to three, to five, to all of a sudden performing at Carnegie Hall come October. I again fell in love with that freedom I’d felt so long ago. The pure peace that comes with stepping up to the ballet barre or onto the stage–complex combinations a balm to a disquieted mind.
I gave it my all, and it gave right back. Not only did I regain an old part of me I’d nearly forgotten, I welcomed many new ones as well. New friends, new teachers, new experiences. A new, deeper connection to the community I’d been living in for 3 years.
Jersey City Ballet enveloped me in its arms, and nurtured the inner child I’d left behind. In turn, I have taken it upon myself to donate my time, energy, and expertise to ensure it feels the same amount of love and support.
In the historically exclusive world of dance, Jersey City Ballet is a beacon of inclusivity and diversity. It creates a safe place for individuals of all ages, body types, and socioeconomic standings to experience and learn the art of classical ballet.
These are the core reasons why I was so incredibly honored when recently approached about becoming a Board Member of Jersey City Ballet Theater. Though I would carry on happily assisting in any way I can regardless of official title or membership, the acknowledgment for my love of the organization was rewarding.
It brings me joy to know that Jersey City Ballet understands how fully I believe in it and its mission, and that those at the helm trust me to continue to assist in sharing these values as a representative.
I look forward to further serving the students, staff, and dancers of Jersey City Ballet through this opportunity.
And of course, to lots and lots of dancing.
