In 2018, 15 NYC theatre artists came together under one roof – the west village’s New Ohio Theater – for a celebration of the neighborhood’s history. Inspired by the legacy of Jane Jacobs, a unique process of hyper-local participatory storytelling was born.

We are a collective of artists and educators whose work occurs in partnership with our communities, driven by engaging audiences of all ages and abilities in thought-provoking immersive civic experiences that are deeply connected to the multilayered histories of public space.

United by our formative collaborations at some of NYC’s most iconic cultural hubs – Lincoln Center, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Governor’s Island, and the Park Avenue Armory – with innovative artist collectives like Blue Man Group and Trusty Sidekick Theater Company – we share the mission of bringing neighbors together to experience their neighborhood in new ways.
