Hello!

I have two updates from our performance space, Monty Hall!

Coming up in July, we will have a screening of 32 Sounds, a new film from Sam Green about the power of audio to ignite our imaginations, bend time and cross borders. Director Sam Green and I will do a Q+A after the show. Then in August, we'll have two screenings of Have you Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd.

Plus: Concerts from WFMU's Monty Hall are coming to YouTube! We're digging through our Monty Hall archives to bring you one new performance every Friday at 11am. All of these videos were recorded pre-COVID, and we are so excited to give them a new life on the interwebs! See our YouTube channel here.

Join Us!
