Mummenshanz is back!

Mummenshanz has returned to Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, Nov. 20-30.

In a time of endless noise from phones, electronics, computers, and a world inundated with technology, the enchanting Mummenshanz returns to New York with its universally loved show.

The internationally celebrated troupe returns with “The Musicians of Silence.” Without any words or music, performers instead use magical objects including a cube, toilet paper, a clay mask, and a white sheet to convey their messages. Through careful actions and poignant movements, the troupe brings creativity and imagination to the stage.

Mummenshanz, Nov. 20 through Nov. 30. Showtimes: Nov. 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 28, and 29 at 7 pm, and Nov. 22, 23, 28, 30, at 3 pm. Tickets are $49–$85.

Belle da Costa Greene: A Librarian's Legacy

The Morgan Library &amp; Museum will present a major exhibition devoted to the life and career of its inaugural director, Belle da Costa Greene (1879&ndash;1950). Widely recognized as an authority on illuminated manuscripts and deeply respected as a cultural heritage executive, Greene was one of the most prominent librarians in American history. The exhibition will trace Greene&rsquo;s storied life, from her roots in a predominantly Black community in Washington, D.C., to her distinguished career at the helm of one of the world&rsquo;s great research libraries. Through extraordinary objects―from medieval manuscripts and rare printed books to archival records and portraits―the exhibition will demonstrate the confidence and savvy Greene brought to her roles as librarian, scholar, curator, and cultural executive, and honor her enduring legacy.
