Join hosts Mara Wilson and Kyra Sims in a dynamic evening of song, comedy, live art, and stories about one of the most crucial parts of our humanity.

Featuring Gastor Almonte, Matt Ray, Concetta Abbate, Iris Explosion, Katie Kuzin, and more to be announced!

Mara Wilson is a writer, performer, and award-winning audiobook narrator who spent her childhood acting in movies beloved by adorably bookish little girls and adorably bookish grown-up librarians. She was also on that one really sad episode of Broad City and several very sad but also funny episodes of BoJack Horseman and Welcome to Night Vale. Plus she’s a tall hot blonde genius on Big Hero 6, because animation makes dreams come true.

Her first book, Where Am I Now? was published in 2016, and named a best book of the month by Entertainment Weekly and Goodreads, and a best book of the year by NPR and The A.V. Club. Her play Sheeple premiered at the New York International Fringe Festival, and her writing has appeared on Elle.com, McSweeney’s, The New York Times, Reductress, VanityFair.com, The Daily Beast, Jezebel, Cracked, Talkhouse Film, and The Toast. Her latest book, Good Girls Don't, is available as an eBook and audiobook on Everand.

Kyra Sims is a collaborative French Hornist, writer, and performance artist residing in New York City. She has worked with artists and ensembles such as Lizzo, Jon Batiste, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Roots, Carole King, Kristin Chenoweth, International Contemporary Ensemble, Roomful of Teeth, Frank Ocean, and My Brightest Diamond. Kyra appeared as a backing musician in Taylor Mac’s Pulitzer finalist work A 24-Decade History of Popular Music, the critically acclaimed pop opera (and subsequent film adaptation) Now I’m Fine, and the internationally renowned podcast Welcome to Night Vale. She has also made television appearances on Mozart in the Jungle and VH1’s Big Morning Buzz Live.

Kyra has worked as a musician both on Broadway and Off, originating chairs at Tony-Nominated Broadway show Illinoise, Drama Desk-Nominated shows Carmen Jones, Superhero, and Soft Power, and the Emmy-Nominated online show Ratatouille: A Tik Tok Musical.
