Medieval Drama at The Met Cloisters Lawn
Join the Fordham Medieval Dramatists for a spectacular, interactive outdoor staging of the 13th-century animal fable The Fox and the Wolf. Virtually unperformed since the Middle Ages, this play brings Reynard the fox, Sigrim the wolf, Chaunticleer the cock, and a flock of befuddled friars to vibrant life with bold costumes, creative staging, and a new translation for the occasion.
Free: Space is limited; first come, first served.

For the City Nature Challenge, join NYC Parks staff on a hike around Inwood Hill Park to explore the diversity of spring wildflowers. Volunteers will learn how to identify these plants and learn how to make iNaturalist observations of any other signs of nature you find along the way. Please bring water and a snack as well as your smartphone or camera! We will stay on trails and the hike will not be strenuous, but we will be walking for about an hour and a half, so please dress appropriately. If you do not know how to use iNaturalist, arrive 15 minutes early and we will show you how!
Location: Payson Playground, 285-287 Dyckman St
