Noli Timere is a soaring aerial dance performance, born from a five-year collaboration between Guggenheim Fellowship Award-winning director and choreographer Rebecca Lazier and world-renowned sculptor Janet Echelman. It features eight multidisciplinary performers dancing up to 25 feet in the air within a voluminous, custom-designed Echelman net sculpture, and is choreographed to an original score by French Canadian composer Jorane, who performs live on stage.

This fusion of contemporary dance, avant-garde circus, and sculpture explores the delicate interconnectedness and fragility of our world, offering a profound commentary on navigating our unstable ecosystem through art and advanced engineering.

Noli Timere – Latin for "be not afraid" – uniquely renders interconnectedness visible and tangible, illustrating how even the smallest change in one element can create a cascading effect throughout a system, like the “Butterfly Effect.” The design incorporates two 40 x 40-foot net sculptures suspended by a sophisticated rigging system on eight corners, which radically transform as performers fly and fall. This seamless interaction between movement and sculpture creates symbiotic relationships where choreography and sculpture continually transform and reshape one another.

This performance runs 60 minutes.

Inspired by two books by acclaimed children’s author Mo Willems, the ingenious Emmy Award-winning company Manual Cinema (known for mixing low-fi props with interactive technology) has created Leonardo! A Wonderful Show About a Terrible Monster.

Poor Leonardo. He tries so hard to be scary, but he just… isn’t. Manual Cinema uses puppets, props, and songs to bring Willems’ books about courage and friendship to life.

Manual Cinema is a performance collective, design studio, and film/video production company that combines handmade shadow puppetry, cinematic techniques, and innovative sound and music to create immersive stories for stage and screen. Using vintage overhead projectors, multiple screens, puppets, actors, live feed cameras, multi-channel sound design, and a live music ensemble, Manual Cinema transforms the experience of attending the cinema and imbues it with liveness, ingenuity, and theatricality.

Greenwich Library’s bi-annual Opening Night Celebration returns on Friday, October 3, 2025, with a thrilling performance by Music from the Sole, a dynamic Afro-Brazilian tap and live music company.

One of the most charming performers ever returns to the Quick Center stage. Guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli has been hailed by the Boston Globe for “reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz.” He has expanded that repertoire by including the music of Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Antônio Carlos Jobim, and The Beatles.

Pizzarelli leaves audiences spellbound with his triple-threat combo of honey-smooth vocals, wry wit, and jaw-dropping guitar prowess, all while backed by a band of exceptional jazz artists.

John Pizzarelli has dedicated many of his albums to the great songwriters and performers who have helped to establish the Great American Songbook and the pop music canon: Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Paul McCartney, Richard Rodgers, and Duke Ellington, to name a few. With his latest album – Stage & Screen – Pizzarelli explores immortal songs of the past century, classics from Broadway musicals and Hollywood films.
