As part of a series from the New York Institute of Technology called New York Tech Live!, enjoy a free virtual event on Wednesday, March 24 meant to bridge a connection between the university and the community.
This live multimedia event will showcase New York Tech’s home, the Upper West Side, as a crossroads of history, culture, and technological change. Four iconic New Yorkers will speak in a panel discussion about the monumental impact of West Side Story, the award-winning 1961 adaptation of the classic romantic tragedy “Romeo and Juliet”, on their lives and work, set in the context of New York City and urban planning for the Upper West Side.
The panelists are: Esmeralda Santiago, author of When I Was Puerto Rican and Almost a Woman
West Side Story: How It Speaks to Us Now takes place virtually from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. Click here to fill out a registration form to attend.
