Join us on Thursday, June 5th from 6:30-8:30pm at the historic Henry Street Settlement

Enjoy an unforgettable evening of storytelling, community, and celebration as Infinite Variety Productions hosts our annual gala: Dreaming Beyond the Stage.

Enjoy drinks, light bites, specialty desserts, and a short immersive performance featuring beloved characters from IVP’s decade of documentary theatre.
