While Joe's Pub is temporarily closed to public access, join us for Joe's Pub Live! – a free series of live-streamed and archived performances from our iconic stage in New York City. Facilitating social connectivity during this time of physical distancing, Joe's Pub remains dedicated to supporting performing artists at every stage of their careers through sharing concerts with our audiences each Thursday, Friday & Saturday night at 8PM Eastern. 

Closures and cancellations because of COVID-19 have majorly disrupted access to revenue for artists all over the world. If you are enjoying this performance and are able to support, please consider donating to the project at PayPal.me/typhoidmarythepopera. 

Please join Amy Ziff (from the pop band BETTY) and Peter Kiesewalter (from the East Village Opera Company) for a staged debut presentation of their new Pop Opera about the infamous Typhoid Mary. This piece is performed by a chamber orchestra with electronics and six classical singers.  

Follow the true journey of Mary Mallon, an Irish immigrant cook who managed to terrorize all of New York City. Was she a villainess or a victim? You will decide...
