MAYA: The Great Jaguar Rises NOW EXTENDED thru March 12, 2023.

Deep in the tropical rainforests, the epic Maya civilization reached improbable heights then mysteriously collapsed. The bustling cities in the lowlands of Guatemala, Mexico, Belize and Honduras were abandoned and eventually reclaimed by nature . . . taking unsolved mysteries with them. Yet, Maya culture never disappeared. Their descendants still live across Central America and Maya communities have succeeded in preserving their identity, languages and traditions.

Taking a cultural-ecological approach, MAYA gives a holistic image of Maya culture and shows how it has developed over time in relation to its environment – from its classical peak to the present.

Utilizing the latest archaeological technology to unravel the mysteries, the MAYA exhibition presents 300 priceless, original artifacts. Their detailed images and inscriptions tell the stories of kinglike rulers and everyday life.

Exhibition visitors will journey through the awe-inspiring Maya architecture and astonishing cultural accomplishments in an immersive exhibition space, decipher hieroglyphs, learn about the intricate Maya calendar and unearth the ancient burial site of Uxual. And by the end of their exploration, visitors will discover how this remarkable sophisticated civilization built such complex cities in the middle of the jungle, why these cities were eventually abandoned and the sustained and profound impact the Maya culture continues to influence each of us today.

Event Details

From Lincoln Center Theater that brought you The King & I and South Pacific, comes “a sumptuous new production of the most perfect musical of all time” (Entertainment Weekly), Lerner & Loewe’s My Fair Lady. Director Bartlett Sher’s glowing production is “thrilling, glorious and better than it ever was” (The New York Times). “Every so often a revival comes along that reminds you how indispensable great theater can be” (NY1).

Boasting such classic songs as “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “The Rain in Spain,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” and “On the Street Where You Live,” My Fair Lady tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a “proper lady.” But who is really being transformed?

Event Details

The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall. (Courtesy of MTI)

Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney’s The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages. With music by eight-time Academy Award winner, Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its irresistible songs, including “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl” and “Part of Your World.”

Ariel, King Triton’s youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends, Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.
