About the Show
In partnership with the New York City Emergency Management and the Waterfront Alliance, Rainy Day Plays presents Please Don’t Flush!, a municipal comedy with music and flood preparedness resources activating public spaces throughout New York City during Climate Week NYC 2026. A community board scheduled to vote on a mysterious waterfront development that neighbors and seagulls and plumbers are worried will increase inland flooding. Instead, the board is derailed by planning their bi-annual gala, celebrating their second-vice-chair’s half birthday, and locking the anti-anti-anti-anti-development coalition in the bathroom. Developed in deep partnership with NYC Emergency Management and the Waterfront Alliance, come find us in public spaces across the city with music, laughs, and resources about flooding this September. Audiences will leave with bellies full of (oat milk) chai, resources, information, laughs, and calls to action about flood resiliency.
