Two national treasures unleash their epic imaginations to conjure a modern and intimate fantasy.  Twist’s signature magic envelopes Arias’ legendary voice, transporting us to unpredictable worlds, channeling ecstatic desires, lavish nightmares and bizarre premonitions in a bejeweled cabinet of curiosities that could only be found in one of downtown's last enclaves for bohemian New York style.

A special performance created for the Dorothy B. Williams Theatre, marking Arias’ homecoming after a triumphant six-year run in Las Vegas with Cirque dul Soleil’s Zumanity,  and the 10th Anniversary of our Dream Music Puppetry Program.

On Monday, June 16th, we will celebrate HERE's Gala Reopening after a fabulous two million dollar renovation! 

We're finally about to realize our "new" space -- featuring a beautiful colored glass storefront; an open, airy café/gallery with artist-made objects and furniture; the  newly refurbished "Bennett Bar"; and  a metal staircase to the lower lobby bedecked with eclectic video art -- a  space where our artists can create innovative work and their audiences can happily gather for years to come.

Tickets are priced at $1,000, $500, $250, and $100, and include fun and fabulous perks at each level.  HERE's Grand Reopening Gala will feature:

• extravagant cocktails and tasty hors d'oeuvres with our celebrity special guests
• a sneak preview of Basil Twist and Joey Arias' brilliant new puppet/cabaret collaboration, ARIAS WITH A TWIST
• a star-studded revue of highlights from HERE's artists, past, present and future
• an auction of several unique and luxurious items
• and a lively dance party injected with performances to round out the evening

Stay tuned for more information to come!
