Carolines & Comedy, The NY Slice, Twyla Tharp's Oeuvre

Caroline Hirsch joins us to discuss the history of Carolines on Broadway, the long-running comedy club as well as this year's New York Comedy Festival, which runs from November 5 through 11.

New York Public Radio's director of archives, Andy Lanset, joins us for this week’s “Andy in the Archives.” 

Ed Levine, founder of seriouseats.com, joins us to discuss his article, “State of the Slice, Part 1: A Slice of New York Pizza History.” 

The legendary Twyla Tharp joins us to discuss her production at the Joyce Theater, "Twyla Tharp Dance." Tharp recollects the creation of her seminal early works and their relationship to the minimalist period in visual art. Members of Twyla Tharp Dance recreate excerpts from many of these works—from Tank Dive to The History Of Up And Down, and concluding with Eight Jelly Rolls. The program, featuring works made from 1965 to 1971, offers audiences a unique view of the work of a remarkable artist during an extraordinary period of innovation. The show runs from November 14 through December 9.
