NowThis spotlights TONYC in a video feature posted to Facebook on October 16th.

On Friday, we brought Harlem to East New York for a special performance of Homestead Instead: Reclaiming the Dream, a fabulous and fun forum play addressing homelessness, housing, gentrification, and homesteading, created and performed by Concrete Justice!

Last night we kicked off our bimonthly Arts & Activism series at Judson Memorial Church with the Housing Works theatre troupe's raw and powerful multimedia forum play Some Things $ Can't Buy, addressing the hurdles to healthcare access for trans women.

Theatre of the Oppressed NYC has been alive and growing for 5 years. Our growth more closely resembled a garden of wildflowers than a garden of roses: that is, energetic, organic and without much pruning! We’re grateful to be a healthy organization today, working with hundreds of actors and thousands of spect-actors each year, while providing our team of staff and artists with fairer wages and health insurance. This fall, we are entering our 6^th season.

Last night, we gathered at the Abingdon Theatre Company for a sold out show featuring homeless youth actors from Covenant House, addressing police harassment of communities of color in NYC.
