Theater for the New City ready to take to the streets, starting with 10th Street today

Theater for the New City's Street Theater Company starts its 2023 five-borough tour today with "Life on the Third Rail, or A Subway Delay to the Future." 

Crystal Field, Theater for the New City's artistic director, wrote and directed this musical that "tells a story in which a violent hurricane floods the subways, sending a heroic subway crew into a new world." 

This production will tour parks, playgrounds and closed-off streets throughout the five boroughs through Sept. 17. 

You can catch the free show today (Aug. 5) at 2 p.m. on 10th Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue ... adjacent to Theater for the New City's home at 155 First Ave. 

Other EV dates:

• Aug. 19, 2 p.m. at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery
