SOUL
Wednesday July 28 at 7:30PM

What is it that makes you...YOU?
Pixar Animation Studios’ SOUL introduces Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) – a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22 (voice of Tina Fey), who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions. Directed by Academy Award® winner Pete Docter (“Inside Out,” “Up”), co-directed by Kemp Powers (“One Night in Miami”), written by Kemp Powers & Mike Jones, and produced by Academy Award nominee Dana Murray (Pixar short “Lou”), SOUL also stars the voice talents of Phylicia Rashad, Questlove and Daveed Diggs. It features original jazz music by globally renowned musician Jon Batiste, and Oscar® winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (“The Social Network”), from Nine Inch Nails, composed an original score that drifts between the real and soul worlds.

Bronx Tales

Real Bronx Stories. Live.

Featuring

Directed and developed by Dante Albertie

Premiering on YouTube and Facebook with a Zoom talk-back directly following

 Since 2014, Lehman Stages has been presenting a storytelling event called Bronx Tales, an evening of true stories told by members of the Lehman College community. The stories are about joy, pain, life and love in and around our favorite borough. Bronx Tales was born out of a love for shows like the Moth Radio Hour and a deep respect for solo performers and their ability to move an audience without anything but their story and their passion for telling it.

 Bronx Tales is usually presented in front of a live audience, but due to the pandemic, we’re bringing you a recorded version, recently filmed at the Multimedia Center at Lehman College.

 We look forward to the time when we can all come together again and share live performances as a community. Until then, join us for Bronx Tales.
