Adam Gopnik, noted New Yorker writer and best-selling author, brings his new one-man show, Adam Gopnik's New York, to the Mahaiwe's mainstage. Produced by Steve Martin and James L Nederlander, Adam Gopnik's New York delivers mischief, meanings, and tales that shimmer with insight and charm, in an intimate and luxurious evening of entertainment. 

"The show includes everything from the making of Central Park, which is a microcosm of everything we love about New York City, to the story of my own psychoanalysis, the most unsuccessful in the history of therapy," says Gopnik. 

Critic Robert Siegel shared praise in The New York Times: "[Adam Gopnik] gave a performance of his one man show about life in New York with great emphasis on his misadventures in psychoanalysis, which was both hilarious and very wise."  

A staff writer at The New Yorker, Gopnik has been contributing to magazine since 1986. During his tenure, he has written fiction, humor, criticism, book reviews, personal essays, Profiles, and reported pieces from abroad. He was the magazine's art critic from 1987 to 1995 and the Paris correspondent from 1995 to 2000. From 2000 to 2005, he wrote a journal about New York life.
