Jerome Robbins: A Life in Dance
Mon / Mar 14 / 7:00 pm / 87th Street and Online
Wendy Lesser and Rabbi Koffman
Jerome Robbins, born in New Jersey to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents, declined to join the family business and instead pursued a life in the theater, where he went on to become a renowned dancer, choreographer, writer, producer, and director. His work in ballet, Broadway, and film on such projects such as West Side Story, Peter Pan, and Fiddler on the Roof leave a legacy of artistry for generations to come.
Wendy Lesser is the founder and editor of The Threepenny Review and the author of a novel and ten previous books of nonfiction, including the widely acclaimed You Say to Brick: The Life of Louis Kahn. She has written for the New York Times Book Review, the New York Review of Books, The London Review of Books, and other publications.
