A fundraiser for Adult English Classes at University Settlement

Join us for a one-night only reading of a new play with music by Gaven Trinidad and directed by Nicholas Polonio. Ticket sales will benefit the University Settlement Adult English Classes, which offer English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes at a variety of levels to adult immigrant students during the daytime, evenings, and weekends, free of charge.

University Settlement partners with 40,000+ New Yorkers in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn every year to build on our collective strengths as we achieve healthy, stable, and remarkable lives. For nearly 140 years, we’ve fought poverty and systemic inequality by building highly effective social services in collaboration with our neighbors. Established in 1886 as the first Settlement House in the United States, we bring the values of that movement into the 21st century by meeting New Yorkers where they live, listening deeply to all perspectives, and creating space for responsive cooperation. Joining with our neighbors to make stable foundations where people of all ages can grow and pursue their dreams, we build community strength.
