SYNOPSIS
At the end of Conover Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn, on the waterfront, there is a bar called Sunny’s. For over one hundred years, it’s been run by one family, through booms and busts, prohibition and pandemics, blight and gentrification. It’s been home to dreamers and immigrants, artists, bootleggers, longshoremen, union bosses, corrupt police, numbers runners, bluegrass musicians, and hipsters. And to Tone Johansen, who fought to save it after Hurricane Sandy, against incredible odds.
Created by Obie Award winners Sarah Gancher (playwright) and Jared Mezzocchi (director), and commissioned by Vineyard Theatre and En Garde Arts, The Wind and the Rain: A story about Sunny’s Bar uses immersive design technology to bridge the past and present of Red Hook. Beginning at the Waterfront Barge Museum and ending at Sunny’s Bar, this site-specific theatrical experience invites audiences to situate themselves within the history of a neighborhood, a family, a storied gathering place, and the currents of time and nature that have shaped it all.
