Join us for an evening celebrating Lance Horn's 400th performance of Mondays in the Club, one of the longest socially engaged durational performances in New York City—at Club Cumming in the East Village on 6th Ave.
At Mondays in the Club, Lance encourages serious musical lovers, amateur singers, and Broadway professionals to sing together and to share moments of joy and sadness. For over eight years the beloved, radical, free and open, first-come first-served participatory sing-along never charges a ticket or a cover fee. Especially in the time after COVID shutdowns, Mondays in the Club plays a crucial role in the East Village to re-create community and a sense of belonging. “We haven’t known each other long, but we found each other in this lifetime,” says Horne.
A talk with Lance Horne, Adam Feldman (Time Out) and Michael Schulman (the New Yorker)—moderated by Frank Hentschker—is followed by a spontaneous cabaret with surprise guests and audience members.
