Sounds like a must-see for those interested in the social, economic, and psychological implications of gentrification in this borough.
Hip-hop theater pioneer Danny Hoch takes over the Public Theater stage, presenting a one-man show of characters who have experienced gentrification in Brooklyn first hand.
Blazing through a fierce spectrum of New Yorkers, Danny gives voice to
everyone from the developers evicting locals to make way for lofts, to
the bar-hopping career hipsters who buy them, and those left in the
wake of both. True to Danny’s signature style, Taking Over is a raw, explosive, hilarious, and heartbreaking study of the impact of our obsession with economic expansion.
