Learn more about the artist performing at our spring salon on June 24: Kate Eberstadt is a singer-songwriter, writer, and performer whose work bridges music and theater. A 2025 Ars Nova Makers Lab Resident, she recently made her Joe’s Pub debut and staged her solo show WHERE WE MEET at Ars Nova and in residence at the cell theatre. From performing with Lady Gaga at the VMAs, to writing a musical with her sister Izzi in Kazakhstan, to founding a performing arts program in a refugee camp in Berlin, Kate’s work is genre-defying, daring, and deeply human. Her performances and projects have been presented at the Connelly Theater, National Sawdust, Ars Nova, The Brick, NYU, Columbia, Clubbed Thumb, Joe’s Pub, Musical Theatre Factory, the Berliner Festspiele, Sadler’s Wells, and more.

While we bid a fond farewell to our friend Lucy Eden following the successful premiere of her insightful & entertaining show — we thank you for your support. It was extremely meaningful be a part of DC’s hosting of World Pride, and to connect with representatives like Danica Roem (Virginia Senate) and Tekla Taylor (A4TE) from the LGBTQIA+ community for valuable conversation about issues of identity, visibility, and allyship.
