Theater for the New City gives special thanks to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation for its Quality of Life Grant in support of the installation of a brand new elevator lift. The grant matched The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). The new lift gives greater accessibility for people living with paralysis and other wheelchair-users to the lower-level theater, restrooms and the rest of our production facilities.
