Pets isn’t just a documentary — it’s a global love story, celebrating the incredible, life-changing bonds between animals and their humans. Directed by Howard and produced by the powerhouse team at Imagine Documentaries (Jim Henson Idea Man, Harlem Ice), Pets dives into the pure magic of these unspoken connections. Through viral videos, archival footage, and deeply personal stories, the film showcases the joy, loyalty, and unconditional love that make our pets family.
Stick around after the screening as Howard and Horowitz go behind the scenes, sharing the inspiration, the most unforgettable moments, and why Pets is about to steal your heart.

In Person and Online
Thursday, April 17, 7:30 pm, From $50
What’s more enticing than a peek behind the scenes? And when the scenes are played out on Broadway’s grandest stages, the peek behind them is gold.
Jenny Anderson, Broadway fan turned in-demand photographer, joins us with Academy Award winner and Tony nominee Ariana DeBose to talk about her new book, The In-Between: Intimate and Candid Moments of Broadway Stars , followed by a mini-concert by some of Broadway’s most exciting voices featured throughout the pages, Sara Bareilles, Caissie Levy, and J Harrison Ghee. Anderson chats with DeBose about the photos in her book and the moments they capture that the audience never sees – in the dressing rooms, the wings, post-performance, and more. Anderson takes us inside the images, giving readers a glimpse into private moments with Glenn Close, Hugh Jackman, Jonathan Groff, Patti LuPone, Daniel Radcliffe, Chita Rivera, and many more. She reflects on the power of photography to tell the stories behind the stories – and all that’s revealed in Broadway’s sacred spaces offstage.
