Maybe you moved to New York to sing professionally, and somewhere along the way you forgot how to have fun. Maybe you sing strictly in the privacy of your own shower, and you'd like to find out how much fun it can be to sing in front of others. There aren't a lot of places where it's okay to sing just for fun! In our meetups, we gather in a rehearsal space in Manhattan with an accompanist, and we take turns getting up in front of each other and singing just for the joy of it.  Broadway, opera, p …

Surprisingly redefinin …

Movies and shows for kids on the autism spectrum. A series of screenings of movies and live performances tailored to the needs of autistic children. I have an autistic son myself and while I applaud AMC's Sensory Screenings I feel that most autistic children do not have sensory problems with the movie theater environment (as long as the sound isn't POUNDING and things aren't PITCH BLACK).
