The Public Theater hosted The People's Filibuster on Jan. 31, an eight-hour outdoor event in front of its Astor Place home responding to recent immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota. Nearly 200 participants rotated at an open microphone, including artists, Broadway actors, elected officials, and community members who read founding-era American texts alongside contemporary writing and performed music. The pass-through format allowed pedestrians to stop briefly or remain for longer stretches, with the audience shifting as speakers changed. Notable theater participants included Lin-Manuel Miranda, Cynthia Nixon, Sara Bareilles, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Ariana DeBose, John Leguizamo, Laura Benanti, and Annaleigh Ashford. Public officials included Attorney General Letitia James, Representatives Jerrold Nadler and Adriano Espaillat, Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams, and City Council Speaker Julie Menin. Lincoln Center Theater will present a one-night-only staged concert of Man of La Mancha on May 18 starring Rolando Villazon and directed by Bartlett Sher.
