ARTFORUMs fab shout-out to both our Abrons Arts Center and its talented director Jay Wegman. Abrons Arts Center’s beautiful little Henry Street Settlement Playhouse is celebrating one hundred years (take that, you half-centurians!). Much more importantly (real-estate nostalgia is for suckers, 5a. notwithstanding), Abrons director Jay Wegman is one of the best (and most under-recognized) champions of contemporary performance in New York, mixing international presentations with standout locals. This fall includes September’s Queer New York International Arts Festival (Ivo Dimchev) and the Forest Fringe Microfestival (Tim Etchells), and several promising standalone productions from Aaron Landsman and Findlay/Sandsmark. Progressive hubs are an endangered species in New York—support this one.
