in Conversation With James Clear
Watch Now
Description
Join us for an empowering and deeply inspiring evening with Brianna Wiest – the bestselling author whose words have guided millions toward clarity, purpose, and transformation. From The Mountain is You to 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think, Wiest has become one of the most influential voices in personal growth. Now, she takes the stage at 92NY to discuss her highly anticipated new book, Great Callings, in an exclusive conversation with James Clear, author of Atomic Habits.
In Great Callings, Wiest explores the internal shifts that allow us to step into our fullest lives — not to prove something, but to become something. She challenges us to look beyond the 10-year plans and the dream job title, and instead remove the blocks to the effortless expression of who we truly are. For anyone who feels stuck at the edge of change, her insights offer both a gentle nudge and a powerful push forward.
This is a rare chance to see Brianna live in New York before she takes her message to audiences around the globe. Expect poetic clarity, practical wisdom, and the kind of inspiration that stays with you long after the evening ends.
Come ready to be moved, motivated, and reminded that the point is not to “make it,” the point is to be made by it. To walk toward the fire, and find yourself forged.
Anthony Bourdain as a Writer
Watch Now
Description
Friends of the great Anthony Bourdain gather for a celebratory reading and conversation spanning the worlds of literature, food, and travel, in honor of Bourdain’s restless creative spirit — and launching The Anthony Bourdain Reader: New, Classic, and Rediscovered Writing.
Legendary chef, television host, and writer Anthony Bourdain was a trailblazer who changed the way we thought about food, culture, and ourselves. A larger-than-life thinker, maker, and traveler who was always greater than the sum of his parts, no aspect of his identity was more important to him than that of a writer. The Anthony Bourdain Reader is the definitive, career-spanning collection of that writing, assembled for the first time.
In a celebration of his singular impact on American literature, food, and culture, join us for an intimate gathering of Bourdain’s friends: chef and memoirist Gabrielle Hamilton; Patrick Radden Keefe, fellow traveler and chronicler of culture; legendary food editor and collaborator Ruth Reichl; Kimberly Witherspoon, his agent and the book’s editor; and Laurie Woolever, his assistant, confidante, and biographer.
From the kitchen to family life, from TV to travel through places like Vietnam, Buenos Aires, and Paris, from his teenage travel diaries to his unfinished novel, discover Anthony Bourdain behind the scenes, as you’ve never known him before, from the people who knew him best.
“Anthony Bourdain taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown.” — President Barack Obama
Broadway Beginnings:
Celebrating 35 Years of New 42
Watch Now
Description
Step into the spotlight for a rare and dazzling afternoon as New 42 marks its 35th anniversary with some of Broadway’s most captivating voices. Featuring live performances, this special anniversary program brings the magic of Broadway center stage — blending conversation and song in a celebration of creativity, inspiration, and the transformative power of the arts.
Tony Award winner J. Harrison Ghee (Some Like It Hot, Kinky Boots), powerhouse performer Mandy Gonzalez (Hamilton, In the Heights), multiple Tony Award winner Celia Keenan-Bolger (To Kill A Mockingbird, and currently seen in The Gilded Age), and beloved Tony-nominated stage and screen star Jim Parsons (Our Town, The Big Bang Theory) come together for an intimate matinee of stories, songs, memories, and revelations.
Moderated by New 42 President & CEO Russell Granet, this one-of-a-kind conversation peels back the curtain on the moments that ignited their love of theater, the mentors and communities that shaped their artistry, and the ways they’re inspiring the next generation.
Recipient of a 2025 Tony Honor for Excellence in the Theatre, New 42 is the cultural nonprofit that’s brought extraordinary performing arts to millions of New Yorkers for 35 years. Founded in 1990 to revitalize 42nd Street’s historic theaters, it makes the performing arts accessible to all — through the New Victory Theater’s world-expanding performances for young audiences, New 42 Studios’ incubation of Broadway hits from Hamilton to The Book of Mormon to The Producers, and mentorship programs that build creative careers.
Now, in this celebratory matinee, you’ll experience Broadway not in character, but in person — unfiltered, unscripted, and unforgettable. This is Broadway storytelling at its most personal. Don’t miss it.

Why 92NY?
Before Jewish Community Centers were called JCCs, they were YMHAs and YWHAs: Young Men’s and Young Women’s Hebrew Associations. Over a period of more than 150 years, the original YMHA evolved into the modern 92NY –a source of connection and uplift, a place to learn and grow, a welcoming Jewish home for all. We, the JCC of Salt Lake City, are thrilled to bring you ground-breaking intellectual and artistic programming live from New York City. The 92NY monthly series is free and open to the public.
