As a follow-up to the Legislative Theatre Festival, actors, audience members, and advocates gathered on the steps of City Hall to rally for housing justice with LGBTQ youth formerly incarcerated veterans with experiences of homelessness.

This season, we're working with youth from the Crown Heights Mediation Center and creating a play addressing racism, favoritism in the classroom, misogyny, and gun violence, based on the real-life experiences of the actors. Here's a look at their creative process.

We have been spirited away to great scenery with rolling hills, rocky mountains, duck valleys and free roaming animals. Horses, cattle, and crows to coyotes and mountain lions and snow have gathered us up and dropped us into the caring arms of the Shoshone on the Owyhee native American reservation in northern Nevada just outside of Southern Idaho. 

​Thank you for creating change with us and helping to make
2015 such an amazing year for TONYC!
