Theater in Brooklyn: Past, Present and Future May 16, 2009

Once upon a time, Brooklyn's theatre scene was one of the most vibrant in the country...before television, movies and decades of living in the shadow of Manhattan took their toll. Today, it's on the upswing again, and promises to get even better in the immediate future. In conjunction with the Theatre Museum's Brooklyn Sees Stars exhibition at the Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn based author, journalist and performer Trav S.D. will provide a brief snapshot of Brooklyn theatre back in the day, and also interview a panel of representatives from several of Brooklyn's thriving performing arts organizations and consortia to learn about their recent activities and future plans.
