The Theater for the New City is pleased to present Walter Corwins Con Hand Cabaret. Workers dismembering the Statue of liberty rediscover Emma Lazarus poem; exercise and cynicism mingle with sweat at the local "Y" and John Proctor takes a savage turn in Old Salem; an academic ponders his past mistakes awaiting the MeToo revelations long hidden in the margins of his diaries: Con Hand Cabaret is a futuristic revue composed of Theater For The New City stalwart Walter Corwins fast paced Brechtian short comedies. |

Soup or Heroes
October 20, 2019 3:00 PM
Soup Or Heroes is a one-act play certain to make you laugh: Two friends write the next big superhero film together. Will this hero have flight? Or super strength? Tights? Or a cape? Can they agree? Or will the forces of darkness drag them into mediocrity? "Soup Or Heroes" takes on the superhero genre and the giant cartoon sized bags of money that await anyone who gets the script writing formula just right. (PG-rated) |

Hooked on Happiness is the new musical about the members of a senior high-school drama class who decide to create their own show about climate change, instead of the putting on the usual shows the drama teacher has recommended.

The Whites
November 07, 2019 8:00 PM - November 24, 2019 3:00 PM
"The Whites" takes us into a universe where the races are flipped and Whites are actually citizens of an ethnic underclass that is dominated by African-Americans. We watch the Caucasian family of Harris and Rasheeda White contend with gun violence, school segregation and the aftermath of prison. For this family and their surrounding community, the everyday experiences of economic, political and social injustice are imposed by Blacks. |
