**Upcoming Programs** Enter the world of the Latin Quarter, the iconic Times Square nightclub that originally operated from 1942 to 1969 and was inspired by the cabarets of the Paris Latin Quarter district and other areas of the *rive gauche. **The Latin Quarter Revue: Behind the Curtain*** explores the nightclub era by way of a singular New York cabaret. A combination of archival footage, photos, ephemera, and more from the permanent collections of the City Reliquary and [**John Hemmer Archive**](https://www.johnhemmerarchive.org/) reveals the life–and afterlife–of this iconic New York nightlife space, offering a glimpse into the midcentury American dream through the eyes of some of the incredible artists who shaped it*.* Curated by Kirsten Larvick, a documentary filmmaker, archivist, collector, and founder of the John Hemmer Archive. Larvick directed the award-winning documentary **John Hemmer & the Showgirls (2017)**, which tells the story of John Hemmer, a singer at the Latin Quarter in the 1960s. **Latin Quarter Programs**

Join us for a series of Saturday afternoon curator programs featuring alumni from the Latin Quarter:
