New York, NY/March 24, 2009 – Brooklyn’s Brave New World Repertory Theatre is giving new meaning to the phrase “taking the show on road.” In May, BNW is winding up its Sixth Annual Salon Series (featuring plays written by notable Brooklyn playwrights) with a staged reading of Budd Schulberg’s On The Waterfront at the Waterfront Museum Barge in Red Hook, Brooklyn May 16-17th (details below).

From there, the production sets sail for the Hudson River Park’s Pier 84 (May 22nd), where it will be part of a Tug & Barge Quadricentennial Tour visiting communities up and down the Hudson River to celebrate Henry Hudson, Samuel DeChamplain and Robert Fulton, -- our predecessors who enhanced the River through maritime exploration and discovery. Fittingly enough, the May 29th performance will take place in Hoboken, NJ, the city where the play’s action actually takes place.

Based in Brooklyn, Brave New World Repertory is known for its bold, critically acclaimed productions of Fahrenheit 451, The Great White Hope and Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, based on Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass (all for Celebrate Brooklyn at the Prospect Park bandshell); and To Kill a Mockingbird, staged on the front porches of a tree-lined Ditmas Park street.

Event tickets are $18 and seating is limited. Further information/tickets are available by e-mailing theatre@bravenewworldrep.org or by calling (917) 285-8911.
