RAINBOW CROW is an interactive, educational and theatrical performance that delights audiences of all ages in a spellbinding style that both entertains and instructs. Based on a children's story book retold by Nancy Van Laan, RAINBOW CROW is the poignant tale of how fire was brought down to Mother Earth in a self-less act that affects permanent and positive change. Assuming the role of the teller of tales, Lauren encourages the audience to become the animals of the story through Native American sign language, singing Native American songs, and dancing a toe-heel dance step - getting everyone into the action. An enchanting combination of song, dance, storytelling, and the haunting sounds of Native American flute music, drums and rattles, RAINBOW CROW explores our relationship to Mother Earth.

Fig is the product of New York's lush jazz history and a celebration of the Lower East Side's generations of cultural and artistic heritage. We strive to serve the best in live music, social gathering, music education, and merrymaking.
Our passion is the showcasing of live jazz, and our vibrant lineup of NYC's best jazz cats—from the well-known to the underground—reflects this. Nightly jam sessions allow listeners (and participants) to experience the spontaneity and creative dynamism that made New York City the vital hotspot for artistic ferment we cherish.
We delight in the enhancement of your music experience with an assortment of casual diversions like chess, shuffleboard, Scrabble, and backgammon, and a tantalizing small plate menu to be debuted when our kitchen launches in early July.
As a family establishment, we welcome guests of all ages.
