Live Events Return!
After many months away from the stage, we're excited to announce plans for six live shows at City Winery's beautiful new flagship location in New York City—cabaret style events where we can enjoy food and drink along with great stories while adhering to Covid safety protocols. The first in this series of 2PM Sunday matinees is January 9, so save the date and stay tuned for details!
The submission deadline for TIME is 12/1
The alarm is ringing! It’s time to write about ...TIME. Are you running late? On time or a day early? In 650 words, tell us about that flight, the grandfather clock, those church bells, the marathon, the curfew, or the temp job where time stood still. What about your first wrist watch, working overtime, daylight savings, or jet lag? Please start writing, because times-a-wasting. Share your story by midnight on December 1.
