SummerStage Theater Presented by Time Warner "King Kong"

Acclaimed impresario of non-traditional theater Randy Weiner and director Alfred Preisser team up for a Hip-Hop themed theater remake of the classic story, "King Kong", a totally original music/dance/comedy spectacle that radically subverts everything you thought you knew about one of the most famous love stories of all time.  Set in the "Bronx is Burning" era of the late 1970s, SummerStage’s "King Kong" celebrates the nascent forms of Hip-Hop music and graffiti art that grew out of the economically stressed South Bronx and went on to become one of the defining, most powerful and profitable artistic movements in the world.

SummerStage Theatre, in collaboration with Preisser and Weiner,  have created a fun, outrageous, and thoroughly entertaining work that will be not only be a unique and exciting experience but also a twisted and insightful treatment of the racial stereotypes inherent in the "King Kong" story.

This is a free event. Tickets are available first come, first served.
