The Decades Ball is the annual gala event presented by Lapham’s Quarterly, bringing together friends and readers of the magazine, emerging and established writers, and devoted patrons. Guests are treated to readings and songs from the decade, a menu featuring period food and drink, and rousing company the New York Times compared to “dedicated revelers at a Gatsby party.” This “stirring night” (Wall Street Journal) has in the past featured performances by F. Murray Abraham, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Tom Hanks, Kevin Kline, Christopher Lloyd, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Mary-Louise Parker.
