In "THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD," when Michele learns she must move from the street where she's lived over 20 years, her frantic apartment search parallels the possible tipping point for her Brooklyn neighborhood's gentrification...which also may have been her doing, as well...

About SoloWeek REDUX: The Tank has brought together some of the best new faces in the NYC Storytelling scene who are pushing the boundaries of what can be done with a solo storytelling show. From audio reenactments, to videos of the storyteller's parents, to Skype calls across country-these shows will be a glimpse into where storytelling-and it's performers-can go.
