WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Tales From the Tunnel tracks the hilarious, outrageous and over the
top true experiences that happen to all of us on the subway. From
wackos and hook-ups to culture differences and that sly pinch, Tales From the Tunnel is a funny ride that tells quintessential New York
stories. Experience the "did that just really happen?" situations that
most New Yorkers Facebook about as soon as they get off the train -
provided that they don't get stuck in the closing doors.

Tales From The Tunnel
This play was seen on 9/18/10 in the Bleecker Street Theater ? aka The Greenroom Theater East Village NYC: All I can say is WOW! This play made for a very good evening and a completely enjoyable experience. The subway stories are all very interesting. Some will have you laughing, some will make you emotional and some will just make you proud that you are a part of NYC. It doesn?t matter if you are a strap hanger, a commuter on the LIRR or even an occasional Metro North rider in fact, if you have ever ridden a train; you will recognize at least one of the stories and think it was your own experience they are talking about. Among the cast members you will recognize Wilson Jermaine Heredia who was Angel in the movie ?Rent?. But all members of the cast are extremely talented and each brings something good to the stage with them. You will enjoy this play and you will talk about this play for days afterwards. I would not be surprised if we saw this play come back again, on a bigger stage as a more elaborate production. But until then make sure you catch it before it ends it?s run.

New Yorkers are sure to be laughing in recognition at Tales From the Tunnel, currently playing the Bleecker Street Theatre following a successful run at last year's New York International Fringe Festival.
Based on hundreds of interviews with riders and subway workers that were conducted by writers-directors Troy Diana and James Valletti, the piece is an entertaining and occasionally heartfelt collection of stories that are brought to life by a terrific six-person ensemble cast.
The play's brief vignettes encompass hook-ups, moments of random violence, race and class issues, and more. Some are sweetly sentimental, while others go for the jugular. The action is staged simply, but effectively[...]
