Theater + Dance

As part of the Summer Street Theater Tour, which has been bringing free outdoor theater to low-income communities since the 1970s, any passersby will be able to pull up a lawn chair or milk crate in Tompkins Square Park to watch "Sanitation," the eco-friendly musical about three Lower East Side sanitation workers who scrounge together their savings to take a cruise to the Caribbean, only to get sidetracked by Hurricane Sandy.

For the kickoff of Summer Street Theater Tour, which has been bringing free outdoor theater to low-income communities since the 1970s, TNC will close down the block in front of its building on East 10th Street for the premiere of “Sanitation,” with a BBQ to follow. Passersby will be able to pull up a lawn chair or milk crate to watch the eco-friendly musical about three Lower East Side sanitation workers who scrounge together their savings to take a cruise to the Caribbean, only to get sidetracked by Hurricane Sandy.

A theater troupe takes over the open pavement in the Municipal Parking Lot on the corner of Ludlow and Broome for their second free show of the summer, Richard III.
