As the national unemployment rate hovers around nine percent and Washington continues its never-ending partisan battle over how to fix it, much of the talk around the country is focusing on jobs, jobs, jobs. The “Employee of the Month” series at 92YTribeca takes a different angle on employment, bringing together a diverse group of artists to discuss their dream jobs. On August 18 at 7:00, comedian and writer Catie Lazarus will host a gathering of performance artist Aurelia Thierrée (Aurelia’s Oratorio), documentary filmmaker Julia Bacha (Budrus), and Sesame Street muppet captain Kevin Clash (My Life as a Furry Red Monster: What Being Elmo Has Taught Me About Life, Love and Laughing Out Loud), who will talk about how much they love what they do. The evening will include a Q&A, previews of the participants’ work, an awards ceremony, and a live performance by singer-songwriter Noam Weinstein.
