Ghetto Hors D'oeuvres Last Night of the Palladium

Performances December 12 + 13, Friday and Saturday at 8pm
*7:30pm pre-show graffiti exhibition

An interactive tale of the New York City underground art scene then and now. The story of an ever-evolving city and its players, its music, nightlife, and art. Our story in its landscape. Actors, Graffiti Artists and Poets break down borders to create an ode to the NYC streets. Ghetto Hors D'oeuvres Last Night of the Palladium sparks dialogue on complex issues of immigration, economics, and survival through the rich art, poetry, and music of a city that is home to more artists in the US than any other. Enjoy free hors d’oeuvres and bear witness as an eclectic group of NYC artists, both native and immigrant, break down the rock that is the foundation and cornerstone of the city we call home. After the show, join the cast and crew for one last party at the Palladium with DJ sets, conversation, and dancing.
