@ Spend an evening with the songs and legacy of Pete Seeger in Pete Seeger: An Inconvenient Folksinger, a critically acclaimed multimedia solo performance. Set during a benefit concert advocating for the end of the U.S.-Cuban trade embargo, the show brings Seeger’s voice, convictions and music to life through a blend of storytelling and song. Featuring beloved classics like “If I Had a Hammer,” “Turn! Turn! Turn!,” “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” “We Shall Overcome” and “Guantanamera,” the performance traces Seeger’s journey from musician to activist, including his experiences during the era of the Blacklist and his enduring commitment to justice, community and song. Written and performed by international playwright and actor Randy Noojin, this heartfelt tribute captures the legacy of one of America’s most influential folk voices. Noojin’s career spans stage, film and television, with credits that include appearances on series such as “Boardwalk Empire” and “Royal Pains.” Both intimate and inspiring, Pete Seeger: An Inconvenient Folksinger invites audiences to sing along, reflect and reconnect with the music that helped shape a generation. general admission and reserved options (includes all fees) Add to calendar Google Calendar iCalendar Outlook 365 Outlook Live
