LAUNDRYFEST
“LaundryFest is the latest addition to our site-responsive productions, including our long-running Communal Spaces community garden play festival and our winter series, Intimate Bar Plays. Unlike the gardens and the bars of our other festivals, the laundromat is not built for leisure; it is a space for chores, a place where people come to do work, and yet it also fosters community and connection - our laundromats, like our bodegas or our playgrounds, are all familiar and yet uniquely our own. We belong to these spaces, and they belong to us, and our neighborhoods thrive because we come together and spend time with one another, even when we're busy. LaundryFest is a celebration of chores, of work, and of New York and New Yorkers".
