Latina Playwright Alisha Espinosa to Bring A CRISIS CALLED NEW YORK to FRIGID Festival  

Emerging Latina playwright, Alisha Espinosa, brings A Crisis Called New York, via Step 1 Theatre Project, to the FRIGID Festival.

EveryOne Dreams of coming to New York... you know the place where you take a endless, precarious commute to your miniscule apartment for an astronomical rent, then you try to de-stress over crime and bills at the local bar or coffee house where you fear every pair of eyes on you. Then with your last dollar ... you can take an uber! You're in New York... always on the verge of crisis. Cutting-edge wordsmith, Alisha Espinosa shares her thoughts in a collection of five, intimate ten-minute plays, maybe we can figure out the city that never sleeps... or maybe not.
