Come on in and learn more about us.  We've been going places for 35 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 with a social/political edge is very much alive and in demand by contemporary audiences....

Who Are We?

Mass Transit Street Theater & Video (MTSTV) is a 35-year old, 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 urbanlife, 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.
                               
Now, Mass Transit creates videos that explore similar concerns and capture our real life dramas in up close documentaries.  A Mass Transit play or video explores, in an entertaining and provocative way, issues of concern to you and your community.  A performance, or big screen showing of a video, can be a moment for celebrating what you are about.  Use it to bring new people in, gain recognition for your organization, and network with other groups.  Get people talking on a different level about problems facing your work place, school, church, or neighborhood.  A Mass Transit play or video can help build community in your community.
