A newly appointed Supreme Court Justice and a young lawyer collide in Roe v. Wade, reshaping history and redefining personal freedoms.
Third Choice: Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court tells the story of how an Associate Justice finds his own independence. At the center of the story are two unlikely protagonists. Newly appointed to the bench is the bookish Harry Blackmun, a childhood friend of Chief Justice Burger, chosen to complete the “Nixon Court”. Arguing her first case is Sarah Weddington, a 26-year-old Texan lawyer and a woman with her own experience of a backstreet abortion. Blackmun struggles to find his place on the Court. He is torn between the liberal Justices who dismiss him and the Chief Justice, who demands his loyalty. But as Blackmun visits abortion clinics and studies the history of abortion law, he confronts the human costs of backroom procedures and begins to question the role he was expected to play. Against expectations, he finds his voice and writes one of the most consequential decisions in Supreme Court history.
House Opens: 7:00 PM
Show Starts: 7:30 PM
Artist / Audience Talk-Back: ~9:00 PM
This production of Third Choice: Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court is being produced and presented by The Actors Theatre Workshop as part of ATW’s Play Reading and Discussion Series.
The Series is made possible with support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

He was never just one thing — that was always the point. A shapeshifter who turned reinvention into an art form, who taught a generation that you could be strange and luminous at once, that the outsider could become the icon. On Friday July 31st, by overwhelming demand, David Bowie by Daddy Rabbit is back for another night of tribute, tenderness, and total transformation performed by world-class musicians.&nbsp;
Expect the hits reimagined — stripped down, built back up, drenched in new color. Come for the man who made "different" feel like a superpower — and stay for a room full of strangers who, for one night, all speak his language.
Daddy Rabbit is a uniquely immersive live music event at New York City's coolest speakeasy. Pulling together classically trained pianists, bassists and horn players with jazz singers, MCs and beatboxers, this is an ever-changing carousel of world-class sound. This live music event mixes original compositions with unique interpretations of Soul, Jazz, Rock, Funk and RnB classics. An intimate setting in the round, it's a show where you can literally stand with the band. 
Sing, dance, drink, nibble and make merry at the coolest speakeasy in NYC.
The better you dress, the better we play.

“EVERY STREET HAS A STORY”
Artist Reception: Saturday, September 12 3-6 pm
September 8 – October 3, 2026
Gallery Hours: Tuesday–Saturday 12-6 pm or by appointment
Every street has a story.
Walking the City, I seem drawn to certain streets. Each street has a past. Memories. A history. Its own history commingling with my history to the street. I return to favorite streets where I somehow feel at home. A street can anchor you, place you, remind you, make you feel. It can speak to you. Every street has a soul.
There is a mood to a street. The sky, the weather interacting with a street, an emotional dance, an unveiling. Sometimes dramatic, but often quiet and subtle, the streets I paint demand I notice them.
I feel this way about New York City more than any other place. The curve of that street, the remembered buildings still standing to mark my own history to them. Within my paintings there is often a glimpse of my husband Joe, as he has wandered most of these streets with me over the years.
These streets I paint in oil will never look quite the same way again. I am recording a history, a passing moment in time with every street. A very personal journey with NYC. My story is here.
Ellen Bradshaw’s work was influenced by the realism of the Ashcan painters, as well as the sense of color and atmosphere explored by the Impressionists. Ellen's usual subject is New York City. "I'm drawn to the common everydayness of life in the city, and perhaps what is hidden just beneath the surface of the ordinary. The reflective moody quirky streets of Lower Manhattan are my usual subjects - the neighborhoods, the personalities of her buildings, the majesty of her bridges, the streets transformed by snow or the colors of night, the lone figures of daily routine, the everyday intensity of the simple passing of moments against that in-your-face reality that is New York City.”
Ellen has shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions and is the recipient of several awards. She has been President of Pleiades Gallery since 2000.
