Rumble in Brooklyn: The Civilians’ Brooklyn at Eye Level

The fight over the Atlantic Yard Development is a battle for the heart and soul of Brooklyn. It is a part of the larger war being waged around the issues of gentrification vs. stagnation and progress vs. authenticity.

The award-winning theater company The Civilians takes on this issue and several others in a new docudrama with music, Brooklyn At Eye Level, which had a workshop production December 4-7 at the Brooklyn Lyceum. Based off of testimonials and interviews from all sides, The Civilian actors collected a wide scope of opinion on the Atlantic Yards, the protests, the backroom dealings, and the people on both sides.
