At a storefront on the mezzanine above the A/C/E train at the 42nd Street-Port Authority station (below West 43rd and 8th Avenue)
The run is officially sold out - get on the waitlist here!
Also, don’t be afraid to just show up - we sometimes get people off stand-by!
Reilly runs Nighthawk's Record Shop, a fading, maybe haunted relic of a vanishing city. Then old friends, shuttered storefronts, and impossible memories drag him backward through time. A City Doesn't Talk, a new site-responsive play, asks what nostalgia costs and how the city shapes who we become.
