Spaghetti Dinners are the perfect venue for emerging and veteran performing artists to show excerpts of new work, or shorter pieces. Great Small Works use the Dinners as a platform for the development of full-length plays in installments. And, they allow GSW and friends to celebrate the political and ritual calendars of New York by programming acts that reference and refigure seasonal holidays and the news events of the day. Recent Spaghetti Dinner themes have included the Jewish festival of Purim, Chinese New Year, Visions of a Post-Giuliani New York, Memorials, Live Radio, & Sound Art, Mardi Gras, and Dada Christmas.

The Spaghetti Dinner depends on a loyal audience, and a crew of volunteers. For schedule information, or to volunteer, please contact GSW at (718) 840-2823.
