HERE will honor Founding Artistic Director Kristin Marting at HERE’s 30th Anniversary Gala on June 3. The celebration cements Marting’s status as an icon of downtown performance.  At the event, which also marks Marting’s final day at HERE, she will pass the leadership torch to newly appointed Co-Director Amanda Szeglowski and her soon-to-be-announced Co-Directors. Forgoing many of the trappings of traditional fundraisers, HERE’s 30th Anniversary Gala will include private, site-specific performances for audiences of no more than eight individuals taking place throughout HERE’s two-story arts complex in Soho. This group of beloved HERE artists include Heather Christian, Queen Esther, Abigail Gampel,  David Greenspan, Aya Ogawa, Paul Pinto, and Basil Twist. The evening will also include performances by Amanda Szeglowski/cakeface, Shayok Misha Chowdhury, The HawtPlates, Maiko Kikuchi, Leimay, Laura Peterson, Pickles, Theater in Quarantine, and more. The event is produced by Sarah Bellin. Tickets can be purchased online at www.here.org. Press contact: John Wyszniewski/Everyman Agency (347/416-3881)...
