Follow a diverse cast of characters from the neighborhood as their lives intersect in Lowery Plaza. They tell their stories through speech and through songs pulsing with the rhythms of the city. This is a music-theatre work that unfolds amid the hustle-bustle of everyday life in the plaza. Passers-by can watch a snippet or the whole piece. Either way, they’ll witness an exciting blend of rhythms, music and text—all paying tribute to a vibrant community and its people.

The play follows Sara, the matriarchal fixture of the plaza, as she guides the audience into the lives of Mina and Charlie, best friends trying to find their place in the world after high school, and Perico, a chess-playing busboy trying to make money to support his children in Ecuador. John and Laura (Manhattan-dwelling transplants) join the Sunnysiders as they try to find the perfect Sunnyside cuisine to feature in their food/travel vlog.

A Sunnyside Mixtape is an Equity Approved Showcase.
