SUMMARY:Hasan Hates Ronny | Ronny Hates Hasan
DESCRIPTION:Pioneering\, two-time Peabody Award-winning comedian Hasan Minhaj is the creator of Netflix’s comedy show\, Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj\, which brought an inclusive and nuanced perspective to global news\, politics and culture. As Host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah wrote in TIME: “Patriot Act is the manifestation of Hasan’s whip-smart commentary\, charisma and sincerity. It’s also a consistent reminder that Hasan is America. And America is Hasan.” Named to TIME’s “100 Most Influential People …\n\n\n\n\nRonny Chieng (Johor Bahru\, Malaysia)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring these divided times\, many people believe that open dialogue and discourse are the only tools to mend a wounded nation. Comedians Hasan Minhaj and Ronny Chieng believe the opposite: Hatred is the answer. \nThis is not one of those tours where two friends co-headline a show so they can go on vacation together. Ronny and Hasan despise one another. And for one night only\, in 19 cities\, they will air their grievances -onstage\, at the same time – about America\, each other\, and each other’s entire family trees – for a paying audience. \nThe format? A DEBATE TO THE DEATH. Imagine CNN’s Presidential Townhall that’s somehow more demented and with less decorum. This will be a race to the bottom. \nMinhaj and Chieng will face off about America’s most urgent issues: Presidents\, War\, the Economy\, Immigration\, Infrastructure\, Food\, Dating\, Family Values\, and of course\, the impending Race War. This is not a call for peace. It’s a call for pettiness. Are you in?

SUMMARY:HELL’S KITCHEN
DESCRIPTION:Ali is a 17-year-old girl full of fire–searching for freedom\, passion and her place in the world. \nHow she finds them is a New York City coming-of-age story you’ve never felt before–HELL’S KITCHEN\, a new musical from 16-time Grammy® Award winner Alicia Keys\, whose new songs and greatest hits about growing up in NY inspire a story made for Broadway. \nRebellious and stifled by an overprotective single mother\, Ali is lost until she meets her mentor: a neighbor who opens her heart and mind to the power of the piano. Set to the rhythm of the 90s\, HELL’S KITCHEN is a love story between a mother and daughter. It’s about finding yourself\, your purpose\, and the community that lifts you.

SUMMARY:Open Rehearsal: Keerati Jinakunwiphat New Work
DESCRIPTION:Join Pointeworks for an in-studio open rehearsal of a new work by decorated emerging choreographic voice Keerati Jinakunwiphat. After just one week in the studio\, experience the early stages of her ballet in creation and gain insight into the choreographic process. \nPay-what-you-can tickets. \nOpen to all ages. \n\n\n\n\n\nReserve Your Seats & More Info\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome to our Pointeworks creative space\, where dancers and choreographers can collaborate at the highest level. \nStep into the studio for this is a rare opportunity to witness the early stages of a ballet in development—where ideas are still evolving\, movement is being shaped\, and the creative process is fully visible. \nAs a choreographer\, Jinakunwiphat’s work centers on community\, connection\, and identity\, drawing from her experience as a Thai-American artist navigating multiple cultural perspectives. Her process emphasizes collaboration and exploration\, asking how we relate to one another through movement. \nThis event offers a unique window into that process—inviting audiences to engage not just with the final product\, but with the making of the work itself. \nAbout the Choreographer \nKeerati Jinakunwiphat is a New York City–based choreographer and dance artist\, originally from Chicago. A recipient of the Princess Grace Award in Choreography\, Jinakunwiphat was named one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” and is a current Artist in Residence at the 92NY Harkness Dance Center. \nShe has collaborated with leading contemporary artists including Kyle Abraham\, Trisha Brown\, and Doug Varone\, and has created works for companies and institutions across the U.S. \nIn 2023\, she became the first Asian American woman commissioned by New York City Ballet\, creating Fortuitous Ash with music by Du Yun. Her choreography has been presented at venues including Lincoln Center\, The Joyce Theater\, and MASS MoCA. \nKeerati’s work has caught the attention of the dance world and her unique perspective offers a truly extraordinary opportunity for dance to become something beyond movement\, but translate as a message to audiences. The question is then\, what will Keerati say with this work? Be the first to know and include your energy in the studio as she creates this ballet.
