Community Gathering on Zoom - register with the bright red reservation box to receive the Zoom link. These gatherings are a service for the theater community and are offered free for TRU members; we ask that non-members help keep us running by buying a ticket, making a donation or joining as a member.
In the room: Ildiko Nemeth, founder and artistic director of the New Stage Theatre Company; Shua Jackson, managing director of the New Stage Performing Space and their newly redesigned Underground 106 venue; and John Sannuto, president of the board of Polaris North performing arts group. We've all heard about theater spaces closing pre- and post-shutdown, but if you know where to look you can find some interesting low-profile spaces off the beaten track, open and thriving. Meet representatives from two west side gems: Underground 106, an intimate 74 seat performance space tucked away on the upper west side, supporting alternative art; and Polaris North Studio in Chelsea, a cozy 60-seat space and the home of TRU Town Hall meetings.
