LAUNCHED IN OUR 30TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON, THE FIVE BOROUGHS ONE CITY PROGRAM HAS PRODUCED A WEALTH OF THEATRICAL EXPERIENCES, INCLUDING PUBLIC READINGS, WORK-IN-PROGRESS SHOWINGS, WORKSHOP PERFORMANCES AND THREE OFF-BROADWAY PREMIERES.
THE PROGRAM IS AN AMBITIOUS MULTI-YEAR PROGRAM TEAMING COMMISSIONED WRITERS AND DIRECTORS WITH WORKING CLASS COMMUNITIES IN EACH OF NEW YORK CITY’S FIVE BOROUGHS. WORKING IN PHASES, THE GOAL IS FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS TO INFORM THE PROCESS OF DEVISING, SCRIPTING, REHEARSING AND PREMIERING AN ORIGINAL WORK FIRMLY ROOTED IN THE CULTURAL IDENTITY OF THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS.
