Brooklyn Neighborhood Acts Out On Development Plan

WNYC

At the Public Theater, the hip hop artist Danny Hoch recently put gentrification on stage in his show called "Taking Over." A similar project has been in development by the theater company The Civilians.

Their project is called "Brooklyn at Eye Level." It brings performers together with community residents to discuss development projects in Brooklyn, centering on the Atlantic Yards project.

The actors spent the past 2 months interviewing people around Brooklyn, and compiled the best interviews into an hour long show.
