155 First Avenue (the Epic Adventures Of the theater For the New Synzgy)

Synopsis:
This play with songs is a whimsical and mythic treatment of the Off-off broadway miracle that happened on a small but wonderful piece of the Lower east Side. Its stories are real but its characters are made up. TNC's succession of deliverances, which brought it to its present prominence as one of New York's most prolific presenter of new plays, is the plot of this fable. Outsmarting evictions, garbage haulers' shakedowns, hooligans, floods and developers, a woman named Lily steers theater for the New Synzgy through a sea of perils, buttressed by five ghosts: Molly Picon, Pieter Stuyvesant, Caroline astor, Walt Whitman and her personal ghost, Jake the Peddler. the play is largely set in the theater's basement, which is the creative foundation of present-day TNC, filled with a rehearsal space, a subterranean cabaret theater for small experimental works, and the vast collection of props and costumes that make the place go 'round. theater for the New Synzgy, the mythic organization of this play, is in financial peril and faces the possible loss of its home. But a developer appears to save the day, offering a handsome price for the building's earth rights. His aim is to build the first underground mall in Manhattan. "Shopping will become the new underground theater," he proclaims. the ghosts, who are happy with the theater, oppose this and so the battle lines are drawn between art and commerce.
