Join Lincoln Center’s 2025 Visionary Artist and two-time Tony Award winner Jeanine Tesori, Emmy nominee Tazewell Thompson (creators of Blue), author Susan Sturm (What Might Be: Confronting Racism to Transform Our Institutions), and poet Bryonn Bain for an evening of conversation, performance, and connection.

Inspired by the acclaimed opera Blue, this interactive event invites audiences to explore how art can help us bridge divides and imagine new possibilities for community and justice. The program features selections from Bain’s multimedia production Lyrics from Lockdown, excerpts from Blue, and a reading and book signing with Susan Sturm.
