Home — the place where you were held, and where you return to begin again. With The Good News Suite, Johnnie Cruise Mercer draws on his upbringing in the Black Baptist church to create a work rooted in memory, ritual, and shared experience. Inspired by Bible scriptures passed down through childhood, these choreographies are crafted to guide communities through grief, and toward the possibility of release.
No two performances are the same. The Good News Suite shifts in response to each space and the people who gather there, taking shape as both performance and communal experience. At 92NY, Mercer premieres The Unforced Rhythms of Grace, a captivating new ensemble work for Black movement and vocal artists, grounded in contemporary gospel music and built from deeply embodied testimony, rhythm, and collective energy. Each night will feature guest artists from across New York’s Black dance community.
Mercer also shares a new version of his ever-evolving solo work, Mercies of a Butterfly.
A former 92NY Harkness Artist in Residence and 2022 Mainstage Artist, Mercer returns home to the stage where so many of the great artists of American modern dance found a sense of belonging while they expanded what dance can hold, and who it is for. The experiences he creates are immersive and shared, erasing the borders between the performers and audiences; experiences Dance Enthusiast describes as “tenderly moving and immensely rewarding … leaving the theater feeling full, and above all, revived.”

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month—a time to support survivors, remember those lost to abuse, and help communities recognize violence that too often happens behind closed doors. Silent Voices United Inc.’s ReadQuest Book Fair brings this message to Harlem: Love should never hurt. Support survivors. You are not alone.
This month, we are shining a light on older adults. Domestic violence does not end at retirement age. Abuse by a spouse or intimate partner may continue for decades or begin later in life. Seniors may also experience abuse, neglect, or exploitation by adult children, relatives, caregivers, or others they trust.
Abuse is not always visible. It can include physical or sexual violence, threats, humiliation, isolation, withholding essential care, or controlling someone’s money. No older adult should have to exchange their safety, dignity, or independence for companionship or care.
The numbers show why awareness matters.
• The CDC estimates that about 1 in 10 older adults living at home experience abuse, including neglect and exploitation. (<a href="https://cdc.gov/elder-abuse/about/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">cdc.gov</a>⁠)
• The New York State Office for the Aging estimates that 300,000 older New Yorkers are victimized annually by elder abuse. (<a href="https://aging.ny.gov/programs/elder-abuse?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">aging.ny.gov</a>⁠)
• In a June 2025 awareness announcement, New York State officials cited an estimate that only about 1 in 24 elder abuse cases is reported to adult protective services or law enforcement. (<a href="https://aging.ny.gov/news/nysofa-promotes-resources-prevent-identify-and-report-elder-abuse?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">aging.ny.gov</a>⁠)
These figures describe elder abuse broadly; they are not statistics solely about violence by a spouse or intimate partner. They nevertheless reveal how many older adults may be suffering without their communities knowing.
Older survivors can face difficult barriers to seeking help. They may depend on an abusive partner for housing, income, transportation, or daily care. Fear of homelessness, isolation, or losing essential support can make leaving especially complicated. Shame and pressure to keep family matters private may also keep survivors silent. The National Domestic Violence Hotline emphasizes that abuse can begin or persist in later life—and that help remains available. (<a href="https://www.thehotline.org/resources/domestic-abuse-in-older-adults/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">thehotline.org</a>⁠)
Awareness should lead to compassionate action. Listen without judgment, respect an older person’s choices, and help them connect with appropriate support. The CDC encourages community members to check in on isolated seniors and learn to recognize signs of abuse. (<a href="https://cdc.gov/elder-abuse/about/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">cdc.gov</a>⁠)
Support our book fair. Help bring holiday joy to seniors.
The ReadQuest Book Fair is also a fundraiser for Silent Voices United Inc.’s Pre-Thanksgiving and Christmas Senior Holiday Dine-In Cinema at The Apollo Stages at The Victoria, 233 West 125th Street in Harlem.
Our holiday program aims to bring 500 seniors together for dinner, live jazz, bingo, a holiday movie, and fellowship. Young people will serve and wait on seniors, creating opportunities to practice kindness, responsibility, and respect while building connections across generations.
These gatherings are a way to honor our elders and remind them that they are valued, remembered, and included. Supporting the fundraiser helps us create welcoming holiday experiences filled with food, entertainment, and community.

Come join us as our high-spirited and fearless Little Red as she ventures into the country to deliver her grandmother a very special and delicious cake.
But unbeknownst to Red, there is an extraordinarily hungry cake-eating wolf who will stop at nothing to get the homemade dessert — even if it means putting Red and her grandmother on the menu! With an original score and songs, dancers magically bring this timely tale to life. This 45-minute show will warm your heart and tickle your funny bone, recommended for children ages 2-8.

Seussical™ – Theatre Young Audiences is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo.
The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton faces a double challenge – not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
Music by STEPHEN FLAHERTY Lyrics by LYNN AHRENS Book by LYNN AHRENS and STEPHEN FLAHERTY Co-Conceived by LYNN AHRENS, STEPHEN FLAHERTY, and ERIC IDLE Based on the Works of DR. SEUSS Directed and Choreographed by Megan Doyle
Seussical™ – Theatre Young Audiences is recommended for ages 6 and older, with a run time of 75 minutes, no intermission.

Join the <a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/cdi/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Child Development Institute</a> at Sarah Lawrence College for a full day of conversations and workshops considering the current landscape of early childhood, which is changing rapidly and significantly.

Zankel Hall

Experience a remarkable musical rediscovery at Carnegie Hall.
On Thursday, November 12 at 7:30 PM, Jason Tramm and the MidAtlantic Philharmonic Orchestra present the world premiere of Teodor Doré’s new orchestration of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Suite in D Minor.
Composed in 1891 while Rachmaninoff was a student at the Moscow Conservatory, the Suite survives through a piano manuscript; its original orchestral score remains missing. Doré’s new orchestration, created with the endorsement of the Rachmaninoff family, offers a rare opportunity to hear this early work brought to life by a full orchestra.
Presented by Renaissance-21, the evening celebrates the movement’s American launch with a program combining classical favorites and contemporary premieres, including Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Rachmaninoff’s beloved Vocalise.
Tramm returns for his third Carnegie Hall performance, joined by guest conductor Olsi Qinami and an international roster of featured artists.
Join us for an evening of musical discovery in Zankel Hall.
Thursday, November 12, 2026 | 7:30 PM Carnegie Hall — Zankel Hall 881 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10019
