#NWUF19: WE THE PEOPLE
SAT & SUN OCT 26 & 27, 2019 – CAVEAT NYC and POCO BAR
Each show focuses on a central theme inspired by a branch of the United States Government, including the unofficial fourth branch – The People, as well as the myriad of issues that affect every citizen. An intimate talkback conversation with an esteemed guest with our President Allison Brzezinski, will kick off every show, followed by performances and screenings by our wonderfully talented artists – all with the aim to not only entertain, but provoke meaningful conversations.
as always, all profits made by #NWUF19 will be donated to the ACLU, to support the rights of all people.
