Conveniently, there are two playgrounds in the Park near the Harlem Meer, the East 110th Street Playground and Bernard Family Playground (East 108th Street), both with beautiful views of the Meer.

An immersive new staging, featuring the first Genderqueer actor in the iconic role of
Blanche DuBois
A Streetcar Named Desire
May 7 – 25 at MISTER ROGERS in Brooklyn
The Coven & Precariat Productions, in association with Wolfpack Theatrics, present a history-making new production of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire, featuring a genderqueer/trans actor in the iconic role of Blanche DuBois.
A Streetcar Named Desire runs May 7 – 25 at MISTER ROGERS in Brooklyn. The limited run is directed by Kevin Hourigan and features Mx. Russell Peck as Blanche DuBois.
Set in the sultry and sweltering 1940's French Quarter of New Orleans, this immersive production invites audiences into the Kowalski apartment where young couple Stanley and Stella are joined for the summer by Stella's damaged, fading debutante sister, Blanche. In a play that famously pins the working class, alpha male Stanley Kowalski against the soft, privileged beauty Blanche DuBois, this production speaks to the divided state of the world today.
A Streetcar Named Desire runs May 7 – 25. MISTER ROGERS, 231 Rogers Ave (between President & Union), Brooklyn, NY 11225. Subways: 2 to President Street, 3/4 to Nostrand Avenue, 2 block walk from subway. Performances are Tuesday – Saturday at 8:00 pm, with one matinee on Sunday, May 19 at 2:00 pm.

National Asian Artists Project - NAAP (Baayork Lee, Artistic Director) announces the return of NAAP’s Discover: New Musicals series, a one night only presentation of staged readings of new short or one-act musicals. The readings will be held on Monday, May 6, 2019 at 7:30pm at Theater 315 (315 West 47th Street – between 8th & 9th Avenues). This program complements NAAP’s Rediscover series, in which casts of professional Asian-American actors perform classic or established works of the American musical theatre canon. The most recent production of the Rediscover series was Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods at The TimesCenter in October 2018.
NAAP’s seventh Discover: New Musicals, went through a two-month process of evaluating a large and competitive pool of submissions. The three musicals selected for presentation are:
In _"Bethune"_, with book and music by Yan Li, Canadian surgeon Norman Bethune finds his passion and purpose renewed when he travels to 1930s China and aids the Communists in their struggle for liberation. Aided by his staff and local militiamen, he learns the price of belonging to two worlds and captures a glimpse of Mao's vision for the future.
“You, Me, I, We,” with book and music by Jessica Wu, is an exploration of the crazy and chaotic way our minds work—the voices that direct our everyday actions, the ones that knock down those with harsh thoughts and lift us back up with a song.
In “Zookeeper,” with book and lyrics by Ellen Mairin Johnston and music by Emily Chiu, we find two very different young women, on a hitchhiking trip across America, get detoured on the Bayou where they’re picked up by a local named Zookeeper.
Tickets are $25 and may be obtained at www.NAAProject.org. For further information, please email discover@naaproject.org.

Hirson, music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz.

As told by a traveling troupe of actors led by the cunning and charming Leading Player, Pippin is the story of a young prince, heir to the throne, who is searching for his own “corner of the sky.” Pippin returns from university certain that he will find a fulfilling purpose in life. As encouraged by the Leading Player, Pippin dabbles in bloody battle, licentious and lusty sexual entanglements, and savvy political maneuvers, only to discover that true happiness is more complicated than he thought. With infectious tunes by Stephen Schwartz and classic choreography from Bob Fosse, Pippin is both a humorous allegory about growing up and a dark tale of the danger of false appearances and empty promises.
The performance schedule for Pippin is Friday, May 10 @ 7:30pm; Saturday, May 11 @ 3pm & 7:30pm; Sunday, May 12@ 3:00pm.
