Brooklyn's Brave New World Repertory Theatre is giving new meaning to the phrase 'taking the show on road.' In May, BNW is winding up its Sixth Annual Salon Series (featuring plays written by notable Brooklyn playwrights) with a staged reading of Budd Schulberg's On The Waterfront aboard the historic Waterfront Museum Barge.

Based in Brooklyn, Brave New World is known for its bold, critically acclaimed productions of Fahrenheit 451, The Great White Hope and Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, based on Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass (all for Celebrate Brooklyn at the Prospect Park bandshell); and To Kill a Mockingbird, staged on the front porches of a tree-lined Ditmas Park street.
