Families and audiences of all ages are invited to Lincoln Center's free Open House for a day of creativity, community, and inspiring performances! For the third year, David Geffen Hall welcomes guests to experience the performing arts up close—with free workshops, participatory art-making, music, and dance. The full day of events includes an exciting session with #1 New York Times bestselling children's book author and playwright Mo Willems, in participation with musicians from the New York Philharmonic; excerpts from Electric Root Presents: Selections from The Sound of (Black) Music, a groundbreaking show that reimagines the music from Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music; a puppet parade for all; interactive workshops and an AI installation; a participatory dance party, and more. All are encouraged to dress in costumes to celebrate the festivities!
