Gala on the Water

EgoPo audiences gathered at Morgan’s Pier on the Delaware River to drink, feast (including towers of oysters, clams, and shrimp), and sing sea shanties with EgoPo actors.

Obie-winning singer-songwriter Cynthia Hopkins performed some songs, and the man of the season, John Guare, sat down to chat about Lydie Breeze in an intimate discussion with Artistic Director Lane Savadove.
