The Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy, Library Futures, Theater of the Apes, and the Information Law Institute bring you this very special Public Domain Day presentation of Necromancers of the Public Domain.

Performers skilled in the art of necromancy transformed the book An Hour With The Movies And The Talkies (plucked from the shelves of the New York Society Library's public domain class of 2025) into a one-night-only variety show. We also featured performers from WNYC's Public Song Project.

Necromancers include:
