This Friday, August 16 at the Spiegeltent! 💫 Join us for Sunny Jain’s Wild Wild East. bit.ly/sunny-jain-bard
Drawing inspiration from his own family’s immigration story, Sunny Jain recasts the immigrant—steeped in the courage to leave a familiar homeland for a new beginning—as the modern day cowboy and cowgirl.
The “Hendrix of dhol” (Manchester Salon UK) Sunny Jain sources musical inspiration from the scores of Bollywood classics and Spaghetti Westerns, Punjabi folk traditions, jazz improvisation, and rollicking psychedelic styles.
Experience Sunny Jain’s Wild Wild East, featuring Alison Shearer, Shubh Saran, Almog Sharvit, and Ben Parag. 🎷🎙️ 🎸

Witness this new production of Le prophète at Bard SummerScape, July 26 – August 4. 🔗 bit.ly/le-prophete-su24

This Saturday, July 20! 📚🍎🎹 Bard Theater & Performance alumni Milo Cramer ’12 and Morgan Green ’12 return to campus to present their show School Pictures at the Spiegeltent. bit.ly/school-pictures-bard
Faith hates reading, Jane lost her flashcards, and Javier sees no point in studying because of climate change. This playful collection of poem-songs, written and performed by Milo Cramer ’12—a former tutor—paints intimate portraits of ten NYC students fighting to get into competitive schools.
Directed by fellow Bard alum Morgan Green ’12, School Pictures is a charming musical journal of keen observations which builds to a sweeping meditation on inequality, learning, parenting, and the cruelty of puberty.

This Friday, July 19 at the Spiegeltent! Join us for a concert with Wabanaki bassist, composer, and songwriter Mali Obomsawin. bit.ly/bard-mali-obomsawin-24
Mali Obomsawin’s music flies in the face of Western tropes that insist Indigenous cultures are monolithic, trapped in time. Highlighting centuries of clever adaptation and resistance in her own community, Obomsawin points toward abundant horizons for Indigenous peoples.
Mali Obomsawin’s concert at the Spiegeltent is co-presented with the Center for Indigenous Studies at Bard.
