Legends of Queens New York Performances

*Legends of Queens* comes to the Kupferberg Center for the Arts as a live performance rooted in the borough’s layered cultural memory. Featuring Jannica Funk, the program follows everyday New Yorkers alongside the myths a neighborhood builds about itself, moving between personal testimony, music, and staged storytelling. Its significance is local and historical, treating Queens not as a backdrop but as a record of migration, labor, and reinvention. The piece’s clearest strength is its attention to detail over spectacle.
