SUMMARY:Between Two Knees
DESCRIPTION:Coming to PAC NYC following acclaimed runs at Oregon Shakespeare Festival\, Yale Repertory Theatre\, McCarter Theater and Seattle Rep\, this play centers on one family’s story of love\, loss\, and resilience spanning the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee\, forced re-education at Indian boarding schools\, World War II\, the Civil Rights Movement\, Vietnam and the American Indian Movement occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973. Directed by Obie Award winner Eric Ting and infused with The 1491s’ boldly uninhibited comedy\, this New York City premiere takes a hard look at the effects of systemic oppression long after our textbooks typically stop teaching Native history. Also\, it’s funny.

SUMMARY:Valentine Like a Sailor
DESCRIPTION:Bring 19th century maritime craft tradition to your handmade valentine with the Seaport Museum! While you create your own special trinket for the holiday\, learn about the unique history of Sailors’ Valentines—tokens of love and friendship. Historically\, these small wooden boxes were given by seafarers to their wives\, sweethearts\, daughters\, and loved ones when they returned from a long voyage. The small boxes open to reveal sentimental messages surrounded with intricate mosaics of shells and found objects arranged in exquisite geometric patterns and motifs such as hearts\, anchors\, and flowers. Using beads\, buttons\, and shells\, families and friends of all ages are invited to the Seaport Museum where we’ll continue the tradition together. Advanced registration is suggested for this free activity but walk-ups will be accommodated as possible. Supplies are available on a first-come first-served basis\, and space is limited.
