Ferry Play

This Is Not A Theatre Company’s Ferry Play invites audiences to participate in the site-specific, sensory experience of a podplay for the Staten Island Ferry. Armed with nothing more than a set of headphones and an mp3 file, spectators ride the ferry while listening to the recorded production – every surrounding sight, smell, and sound plays a supporting role in the experience. In a theater as big as the Upper New York Bay, ghosts from the ferry’s past seduce and mingle with voices from its present, leaving the spectator to consider their role in the live performance event that is the Big Apple. The result is a show that is personal and public, ever-changing, and as dynamic as New York City itself.
