AFHLE, Hungarian House, now celebrating its 60th year of operation, offers cultural programming and community activities that build the Hungarian-American community and its local Yorkville neighborhood in NYC. As a non-governmental and non-denominational American Hungarian cultural center in NYC since 1966, the community center has served children, adults, and seniors and as an educational resource for those of Hungarian descent to learn and stay in touch with their customs, traditions and cultural heritage. As a bridge to our American community, many offered programs are in both English and Hungarian and include Hungarian music, history, literature, science, film, theater, language, youth leadership/scouting, dance, and seasonal heritage activities. For newly immigrating Hungarians arriving and integrating into American society we serve as a springboard to integration into American society, and AFHLE, Hungarian House stands as a second home by providing services that facilitate staying in touch and celebrating Hungarian and Hungarian-American ancestry.
The portion of your ticket that exceeds $30 is a tax deductible donation to the extent allowable by law.
ABOUT THE 2026 REHEARSAL FOR TRUTH INTERNATIONAL THEATER FESTIVAL
Rehearsal for Truth International Theater Festival, honoring Václav Havel, is a showcase of contemporary European theater organized each year in New York City. Conceived in 2017 as a shared endeavor of the Václav Havel Center (VHC) and Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association (BBLA), the festival honors the legacy of Czech playwright, dissident and political thinker Vaclav Havel. The 2026 festival is being produced in partnership with Untitled Theater Company No. 61.
Each edition of Rehearsal for Truth Theater Festival addresses current sociopolitical trends in Central and Eastern Europe, offering New York audiences a unique opportunity to witness the region’s theatrical zeitgeist.
This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
