Riot Act! The Police Teen Theater Project

The Police-Teen Theater Project, sponsored by Falconworks Artists Group and the Red Hook Community Justice Center, is an innovative program where young people from Brooklyn and police officers who serve their neighborhoods take classes together in improvisational theater.

Young people from Brooklyn combine forces with officers from four NYPD units to create a night of hilarious, moving, and totally unpredictable improvisational theater.
