Raising the Roof

Theater for the New City, Crystal Field, artistic director, presents “Raising the Roof,” an evening of “green” entertainment to benefit its green roof garden project. Green roofs, building roofs that are covered with soil and vegetation, grant many benefits for urban environments: they absorb rainwater, provide insulation, combat pollution and offer a habitat for birds. Crystal Field, who initiated the project, hopes Theater for the New City’s green roof will be a beacon for the entire city.
