Adam Gopnik’s New York, a special three-night theatrical event with best-selling author and legendary New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik, will play Lincoln Center later this spring.

Running May 16-18, the autobiographical solo show will play The Clark Studio Theater at Lincoln Center, inside the Samuel B. & David Rose Building. 

The best-selling author has been a writer for The New Yorker since 1986, covering fiction, humor, criticism, art, book reviews, personal essays, profiles, and reported pieces from abroad. He has written nine books, ranging from essay collections about Paris and food, to children’s novels, as well as several musicals and theatre pieces. He wrote the book and lyrics for the musical comedy Our Table, with composer David Shire; the libretto for the oratorio Sentences, with Nico Muhly; and is currently collaborating on a new musical, Fairy Tale, with Andrew Lippa. 

Gopnik has won three National Magazine Awards, for essays and for criticism, and the George Polk Award for Magazine Reporting. In 2021, he was made a Chevalier of the Legion d’honneur, and this year was elected to the American Academy of Arts & Letters. He lectures widely and, in 2011, delivered the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s 50th anniversary Massey Lecture.
