Green-Wood

1 p.m. Gay Green-Wood Trolley Tour
2014-06-14 13:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Close out Brooklyn Pride Week (June 9 – 14) in a most unique way, on Green-Wood’s first ever LGBT-themed trolley tour. Tour guide Phil Desiere – who leads tours of Greenwich Village, Central Park, and other NYC sights – will illuminate stories of Green-Wood ‘permanent residents’ who were openly gay, including “It’s Raining Men” co-author Paul Jabara, and some who were probably gay or bisexual, like Violet Oakley, a member of a ‘Boston marriage.’

Plus you’ll visit the final resting places of those who contributed to LGBT culture in fun, surprising ways, among them Louis Comfort Tiffany, the artist and businessman whose fancy New York City atelier is the namesake of gay novelist Truman Capote’s smash hit, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”

$15 for members of Green-Wood and BHS/$20 for nonmembers.

OUR TOWN
Thornton Wilder’s 1938 classic, directed by James Presson.
Enjoy a classic piece of American theater amidst the timeless beauty of Green-Wood Cemetery. Our Town tells the story of Emily Webb and George Gibbs of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, a small New England town at the turn of the twentieth century. But the lessons of Grover’s Corners stretch far beyond the sleepy town, as the play explores the universal human experiences of life, love, marriage, death and dying. And while the play stays true to universal themes of Wilder’s world-renowned work, Green-Wood’s Our Town is distinctly Brooklyn – the cast is diverse, the music is modern, and the vibe is decidedly urban.
As the sun sets on Green-Wood’s stunningly unique landscape, you will be immersed in a fresh new take on this American classic, helmed by innovative director James Presson. Presson is a graduate of the theatre programs at Fordham University and Moscow Art Theatre and he serves as the co-Artistic Director of Less Than Rent Theatre, a position he has held since its founding in 2001. He is also the recipient of the 2013/2014 Dramatists Guild Fellowship for the book of his musical, Outlaws.
Our Town stars Cory Asinofsky, Mayaa Boateng, Amanda Brooklyn, Ben Diserens, Zoe Farmingdale, Patrick Fleury, Joe Flynn, Yadin Goldman, Rachel B. Joyce, Kumiko Konishi, Roland Lane, Ashley Lanyon, and Jacob Presson.
Original music and arrangements by Brendan Fox. Scenic Design by Daniel Geggatt. Costume Design by Sara Donovan. Lighting Design by Jonathan Cottle. Sound Design by Lee Kinney. Puppet Design By AJ Cote.

2014-07-12 19:00 - 22:00 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
This popular event is back for 2014 and better than ever! Imagine an outdoor pleasure dome, strung with lights, adorned with fountains and featuring the top musicians, dancers and entertainers of the time. That was the scene at Niblo’s Garden – the premier entertainment house of the 19th century. Niblo himself had a habit of turning his Green-Wood mausoleum – built years before his death – into a pleasure garden of its own, with friends, picnics and goldfish-stocked ponds.
Join author, historian, and Niblo expert Ben Feldman to bring the glory of Niblo’s Garden to Green-Wood! Enjoy an evening picnic around the beautiful glacial pond Crescent Water, and take in an evening of showmanship in front of the grand Niblo mausoleum. Bring a blanket, some snacks and drinks, and you’ll be dazzled by fire jugglers, singers, even famed knife thrower Throwdini! – all under paper lanterns and a starry sky.
Cosponsored by The Victorian Society New York.
