“We believe artists carry us forward in so many ways. They illuminate our individual lives, bring us together to appreciate one another, and encourage us to experience the world around us from angles we may never have otherwise considered,” said Shanta Thake (pic), Ehrenkranz Chief Artistic Officer of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. “This season, we offer a range of productions, series, and artist development initiatives that speak to shared histories, joyful and complex presents, and futures that seemed impossible just a few years ago.”
