My Country ‘tis of Thee contains 5 short comedies that try to fulfill the great playwright Clifford Odets’ dictum:

“The drama should shoot like bullets.”

Corwin’s plays, presented in this “emergency production” before the 2020 presidential election, comment on the chaotic situation in order to
“get out the vote”.

Theater for the New City gives special thanks to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation for its Quality of Life Grant in support of our on going effort to obtain a Handi-lift Elevator. Folks WE ARE 75% of the way there and the Reeve Foundation has been a beautiful and important part of our struggle to be totally accessible to all of our audience. They have helped greatly in the match for the grant from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). We will shortly be announcing the names of other donors for this important project. A project that gives disabled and frail elderly patrons and artists accessibility to our lower level theater and to a large part of our production facilities.
