New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani helped promote Under the Radar Theater Festival’s “Under the Radar for All” effort, giving away 1,500 free tickets to participating shows at theaters across the city.
Mamdani helped distribute tickets outside of the Leonard & Claire Tow Center for the Performing Arts at Brooklyn College (where the festival is presenting RECONSTRUCTING), with the mayor’s team saying it is part of his larger effort to increase the accessibility of art in the city to working New Yorkers.
“The arts are too often considered a luxury for the wealthy or a treat for the tourists, rather than a form of expression, joy, and relaxation that every New Yorker deserves,” Mamdani said. “I am grateful for Under the Radar’s generosity and their work to share the experience of live theater citywide and am ready to build upon these efforts to make art accessible and affordable across our five boroughs.”
Under the Radar is America’s largest theater festival, and it includes more than 25 new shows from artists around the globe, presented at partner venues in New York City. Other participating theaters include Lincoln Center Presents, The Public, and New York Theatre Workshop.
