Performance

Just This Once

2 upcoming performances in New York

At Town Hall, *Just This Once* reframes a 1993 literary oddity: a romance novel generated by an early AI system built to mimic Jacqueline Susann’s style, later tangled in a copyright settlement that still gets cited in legal writing. This live comedy event, featuring Jschlatt, treats that backstory as cultural material rather than nostalgia. No clear NYC premiere history is documented for the original book, but New York’s publishing and performance ecosystems make the subject feel at home. The sharpest point is how quickly authorship becomes a courtroom question.
