Come on in and
learn more about us. We've been going places for more than 40
years! Starting out from our home base in the Bronx, we have
performed in neighborhoods from East Harlem to Las Vegas on stages from
Lincoln Hospital to Lincoln Center... for spectators ranging from
youthful offenders in detention centers to union delegates in convention
centers. And along the way, we have demonstrated that good theater
and video with a social/political edge is very much alive and in demand
by contemporary audiences....

Mass Transit Street Theater & Video
(MTSTV) is a Bronx-based theater known nationally for a dynamic mix of
storytelling, song, dance, and film that entertains and provokes thought
about the issues that touch our lives. The company’s original plays –
for example, HOUSE ON MAYHEM STREET, HOME FREE, ONCE UPON A BUS,
OVERTIME, and UNDER OUR SKIN – explore the contemporary issues of urban
life, the value of diversity, and visions of what could be if we learn
to work together. Following the show, actors and the audience join in a
lively discussion of the play and the questions it raises.
Since 2007, Mass Transit has been offering original plays, films and
workshops primarily to young people in schools and community centers.
Through film festivals, screenings, mediation trainings and plays we are
promoting emotional, economic and environmental literacy in schools and
neighborhoods throughout the city.
