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>⁠)

92NY

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.”
This performance is part of the Harkness Mainstage Series’ Home season, exploring how dance maps the shifting terrain of home, identity, and belonging, and the borders – visible and invisible – that shape us.

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

Is “Therapy Speak” Getting in the Way of Talking with Your Daughter?
ADHD. OCD. Toxic. Unwell. Today’s tween and teen girls are growing up surrounded by mental health language, much of it absorbed through TikTok, Instagram, and other online spaces. While this vocabulary can help girls express what they are experiencing, it can also shape how they see themselves and make honest conversations with parents more complicated.
Over the past decade, psychiatrist Suzanne Garfinkle-Crowell has seen a growing number of girls arrive in her office with long lists of self-applied diagnoses. She has also watched concerned parents struggle to respond, sometimes with alarm and sometimes with skepticism, unintentionally widening the communication gap with their daughters.
Join us for a timely and engaging conversation based on Dr. Garfinkle-Crowell’s book, Girlhood, Translated. She will help parents better understand the language girls are using, look beyond labels, and respond in ways that foster openness, resilience, and connection.
Discover how parents can help girls move from feeling defined by what is “wrong” with them to feeling confident in who they are and empowered to shape who they will become. This conversation offers a hopeful new way to talk about mental health, one that encourages girls not only to heal, but to thrive.
The first 100 attendees will receive a copy of Girlhood, Translated.

The "soaring" musical score features original songs like "Ode to the Early Bird Special", "The Finger", and "I Never Met This Yenta". 
Set in Miami Beach 1977-1987, the story encapsulates the charm and nostalgia of that era, as Jackie's romantic misadventures clash with his ascension to Broadway stardom, and Sheba is born. 
At the conclusion of the show Sheba answers the much asked question since legendary comedian Jackie Mason passed away in August 2021: "Did he leave you anything in his will?"&nbsp;

Local Event: Jay Day - Fall Family Festival

Westchester County

Jay Day - Fall Family Festival

Jay Day is our classic fall family festival held annually at the 23-acre award-winning Jay Estate with offerings for everyone!...

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
