"The Debates 2021" Adaptation of NYC Democratic Primary Debates

Theater in Asylum is presenting the fourth iteration of its political-theater series, The Debates, on Zoom for two evenings. The show centers on New York City's 2021 Democratic primaries and explores the candidates for mayor, comp, comptroller, and many city council seats through a blend of mimicry, abstraction, and song. Comprised of individual, non-linear scenes, the piece illuminates where the candidates stand and clarify their differences to provide New York City audiences the knowledge and confidence to vote with purpose. As voters, we get to decide what our beloved city should look like. Following the 60-minute show, the audience is invited to stick around for a post-show discussion and party.
