The Paul Taylor Dance Company returns to the David H. Koch Theater November 4–23, 2025, with World Premieres by Resident Choreographers Lauren Lovette and Robert Battle, and the New York Premiere of Hope Boykin’s How Love Sounds. The soundscape is as bold as the dancing — from jazz icons Ella Fitzgerald, Wycliffe Gordon, and Mahalia Jackson, to the orchestral sweep of Antonín Dvořák and John Adams, to pop classics by Patsy Cline, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, and Donna Summer. Alongside Taylor favorites Esplanade and Company B, the repertory features treasures including Speaking in Tongues, the Whitman-inspired Beloved Renegade, Offenbach Overtures, Scudorama, Troilus and Cressida (reduced), and Concertiana, Taylor’s final dance. Select performances feature live music performed by the Orchestra of St. Luke’s. Tickets start at $10 at boxoffice.dance.

GODZILLA IS BACK!

MOTHRA IS TOO!

AND INTRODUCING “BATTRA” IN HIS ONLY KAIJU FILM!

IT’S A GODZILLA MONSTER DOUBLE CREATURE FEATURE!

Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992) (Japanese Version. English subtitles.) Mothra teams up with her adversary “Battra” in an ultimate 3-way battle with Godzilla!

Godzilla 2000 (1999) (USA version. English dubbed.) Godzilla battles a UFO, the mutated monster “Orga” and the Japanese military in this monster kick off to the Godzilla “Millennium” Series!

About the Godzilla 2000 USA version: Even Japan’s TOHO Studios believes that the USA version of Godzilla 2000 is superior to the Japanese version going so far as distributing the USA version themselves! While we have always shown the Japanese versions of Godzilla films in our Godzilla series, in this case we will be showing the USA English version.

Come by for all the monster action with BIG THEATRE SOUND on the BIG THEATRE SCREEN!

Take the entire family on an unforgettable journey of hope, healing, and the magic of nature with The Secret Garden. Based on the beloved novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, this musical adaptation tells the story of Mary Lennox, a young orphan sent to live with her reclusive uncle in a mysterious, windswept manor. When Mary discovers a hidden, locked garden left untended for years, she sets out to restore it—unlocking long-buried secrets and transforming the lives of everyone around her. With a beautifully sweeping score and lyrics that evoke the power of nature, memory, and renewal, The Secret Garden captures the imagination and touches the heart. Beneath its enchanting surface lies a deeply moving story about friendship, resilience, and the healing power of love. It’s a theatrical experience that reminds us all that even the darkest places can bloom again.

The original Broadway production of The Secret Garden opened in 1991, featuring music by Lucy Simon and a Tony Award–winning book and lyrics by Marsha Norman. It was praised for its lush score, rich storytelling, and visual beauty, winning two additional Tony Awards in Best Book of a Musical and Best Performance of a Featured Actress in a Musical categories. Over the years, the show has been reimagined in numerous revivals and adaptations, including multiple movies and made for TV productions, introducing new generations to its enduring themes. Don’t miss this captivating story of transformation and the garden that changed everything. Let your imagination take root!

“Because of the beautiful music and layered, hopeful story… The Secret Garden has become one of the most produced American musicals, cementing its status as an important cultural touchstone.” -Rachel Pepper, The Daily Fandom

The Norman Rockwell Museum is honored to present a rare series of early twentieth century lighting advertisements by Norman Rockwell and fellow Golden Age illustrators Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Dean Cornwell, Stanley Arthurs, Worth Brehm, and Charles Chambers created for Edison Mazda Lamps, a division of the General Electric Company. These luminous, richly painted works were widely circulated in published advertisements through the 1920s and are on loan to the Museum for the first time through the generosity of GE Aerospace.

“Once a Tree: Continuity, Creativity, and Connection” explores the deep-rooted significance of trees in Haudenosaunee culture, tradition, and creative expression. Featuring the work of 42 artists and more than 100 objects—including decorative and utilitarian baskets, cradleboards, snowshoes, ladles, lacrosse sticks, toys, instruments, carvings, and sleds—this exhibition highlights the important relationship between nature and artistry. Selected from the Museum’s permanent collection, the exhibition was created with guidance from curatorial consultants Terry Chrisjohn III (Oneida), Preston Jacobs (Mohawk), and Sheila Ransom (Mohawk).

"Separated but Unbroken: The Haudenosaunee Boarding School Experience" explores the lasting impact of the Thomas Indian School, once located on the Cattaraugus Reservation south of Buffalo, NY, and The Mohawk Institute near Branford, Ontario. These institutions, which enrolled a significant number of Haudenosaunee students, were part of a larger system that sought to erase Indigenous identities while deeply shaping the lives of those who endured them. Co-curated by Erin Keaton (Mohawk), the exhibition sheds light on Haudenosaunee resilience.

Step back into the vibrant world of the 1920s and 1930s with Jazz Age Illustration, a major exhibition exploring the art of popular illustration during this transformative era. Featuring over 100 works by renowned artists such as Aaron Douglas, John Held Jr., and Frank E. Schoonover, the exhibition delves into the cultural impact of illustration during a time of dramatic social change.

Organized by the Delaware Art Museum, Jazz Age Illustration is the first major exhibition to survey the art of popular illustration in the United States between 1919 and 1942—a vibrant and transformative era of innovation, evolving styles, social change, and expanding popular media.
