Theatre of the Oppressed NYC partners with communities confronting systemic oppression to inspire transformative action through theatre. Their goals are to build solidarity and awareness; to enable actors to become activists; and to influence policy-making through participatory theatre. Their work is guided by several core principles: that any discussion of a social problem should center the voices of those most affected; that unscripted, live encounters have immense potential for transformative change; and that community-based art and activism can influence policy.

The Prime Produce Apprentice Cooperative operates 424 w 54 Street as a legally incorporated and wholeheartedly organized co-op supporting entrepreneurs, educators, and artists who share values of service and hospitality. Here, we work to design experiences, build companies and organizations, practice our crafts, cultivate relationships, and grow as people.
