David Suzuki, the longtime host of The Nature of Things, and Tara Cullis, co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation, have been married more than 50 years, and this intimate play from Toronto's Why Not Theatre puts them on stage telling that story themselves. Around a dining table with performers Miriam Fernandes and Sturla Alvsvaag, they sift photos and memories of love and activism. If you care about climate or want a free, moving night of theater, go.

What to expect

A casual, conversational staging in the Rubenstein Atrium across Broadway from Lincoln Center's plaza, with the four performers at a dinner table and projected family photographs. It feels closer to being invited over for dinner than to a lecture.

Good to know

  • The atrium is on Broadway between 62nd and 63rd Streets, near the 66 St-Lincoln Center 1 train.

  • The atrium has a café, so you can grab a drink before it starts.
  • This is the second of two New York performances.
