ADAM GOPNIK'S TALK THERAPY

Lazaridis Hall, Tom Patterson Theatre
July 3, 2026 – July 4, 2026
Varying Times

In this one-man show, beloved New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik traces a life in New York, from his first glimpse of the Guggenheim Museum on its opening day, to his departure from Canada on a night bus with his girlfriend, soon to be wife, Martha, through the strangest, and perhaps final, psycho-analysis in Manhattan history – while all the while making surprising diversions into such subjects as the history of snowflakes, the erotic aura of rats to Marcel Proust, and the surprising linguistic turns of texting in family life. Called "Hilarious and wise" by the New York Times, the show combines Gopnik's signature wit and charm with a searching inquiry into how our lives, which we imagine as directional arrows, end up always as inward turning circles.
