Hailed by the New York Times as “fresh, inventive and entertaining,” and included in the “Best of 2010” theatre lists of the New York Times, New Yorker and Time Out New York, In the Footprint examines the conflicts that erupted in the case of Atlantic Yards, Brooklyn’s largest development project in history. Discover how the fate of a city is often decided in the present day and see what can be learned from this ongoing saga of politics, money and the places we call home. Constructed from interviews with real life players in this Brooklyn controversy, including local residents, business owners, political leaders such as Letitia James and Marty Markowitz, activists, union members and project supporters, this play melds music and dialogue to promote curiosity about the world and engagement with some of the most vital questions of our time.
