"The evening was a double success. For the thousand who attended, it was a special moment of unity and joy, and in those watching in the days afterwards, an evocation of a desire in themselves to gather and be expressive." - The Stage, Howard Sherman ICYMI, check out the moment over a thousand New Yorkers gathered in the middle of Central Park with Public Works for the LET'S HEAR IT FOR NEW YORK unforgettable dance experience! 🎉 ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e_8nSugn 📸 Peter Cooper
