Jackson Heights 3Am
Synopsis:
Seven playwrights explore the most culturally diverse neighborhood in the world from 10pm-4am - its brightest lights and loneliest corners - in dance clubs, all-night bakeries, sex shops, laundromats, side streets, and alleyways. they ate arepas prepared by the "sainted arepa lady" and, two blocks away, saw the homeless fed by the local hero a.k.a. "angel of Queens" under the elevated trains. they interviewed numbers-players, sex trafficking experts, bartenders, cops, and cross-dressers. they were invited to dance, to gamble, and to watch an undercover police operation. . . and they were invited to let their imaginations run dark, funny, sexy, and very very late. It was written using collaborative methods developed by theatre 167, with the seven playwrights sharing characters and storylines, melding distinct voices and languages into one whole.
