A Big Bang Benefit

Judson Memorial Church

In Person

55 Washington Square S

New York NY

A two-night festival of live readings, music, and communal dinners celebrating the church’s 133-year tradition of supporting bold, artist-driven work in downtown New York. Each evening features two live readings of new plays and screenplays, with a shared community dinner with musical performances in between. Proceeds from the event support the free artistic programming at Judson Commons, including our monthly cold reading series The Big Bang: Works in Progress.
