Description

Justice advocates say incarcerated people at Rikers Island are increasingly "isolated" and "idle" after millions in recent program cuts. Also, movie actor Julia Ormond is suing former producer Harvey Weinstein for sexual assault after an incident in 1995. Plus, 60-year-old Salvatore Vassallo of Jersey Shore was sentenced to 18 months for his role in the January 6 Capitol riot. Recently, after New York City Mayor Eric Adams unveiled the “Live Performance Industry Council” emphasizing the city’s commitment to the arts, WNYC pulled together Anna Glass, Executive Director of Dance Theatre of Harlem; Casey York, President of The Off-Broadway League and Managing Director of Ars Nova; and Jake Rosenthal, Co-Founder and CMO of Elsewhere, to discuss the industry’s comeback with Sean Carlson at The Green Space.
