East Village’s renowned Theater for the New City will bring their award-winning Street Theater Company to New York City streets, parks and playgrounds, unveiling a new “rip-roaring” musical “Tally Ho!, or Navigating the Future.” The group will perform at Washington Square Park Sunday, August 30th at 2 p.m.
The new production is about a young bank teller’s adventures in high finance with the big bankers and the heads of industry. The tale gets cosmic as Hera and Athena jump in to help when toxic assets and old mortgages join the runoff from the earth–the dead batteries, pesticides and rotting garbage–that have begun piling up on Mount Olympus.
All performances are free and open to all. The new musical has book, lyrics and direction by Crystal Field and musical score composed by David Tice.
The production was first performed August 1st at Theater for the New City and will perform in all five boroughs before it finishes its run.
Dates remaining include: Central Park Bandshell August 16, Prospect Park Concert Grove August 22, Travers Park August 23, St. Mary’s Park August 29, Washington Square Park August 30, Sobel Court & Bowen Street September 12, and St. Marks Church September 13.
