brooklynONE Productions to Host Massive Site-Specific Arts Festival: TOTAL THEATRICAL TAKEOVER at Industry City
Featuring over 40 artists and 10+ original pieces being presented throughout the campus.
On May 24th & 25th from 11am–5pm, brooklynONE Productions is taking over Industry City with a two-day, sprawling, FREE performance festival: the Total Theatrical Takeover. A full-scale artistic invasion, the event transforms courtyards, murals, and hidden corners of Industry City into dynamic performance stages — with over 40 artists and 10+ original pieces being presented throughout the campus.
From puppetry to poetry, live music to live drawing, and comedy to movement-based storytelling, the festival offers something for everyone. It's a spring celebration of art in motion — experimental, immersive, and open to all ages.
"Going back to our roots and creating moments and plays around campus is a dream" says Anthony Marino, Founder & Artistic Director of bkONE “seeing these groups come together, under the leadership of this event coordinator Mitch Richman has been a ton of fun, its going to be a special weekend."
Audiences are encouraged to shop, snack, and stroll through the six activated buildings and courtyards while encountering surprise pop-up performances in unexpected places. With multiple performances scheduled every 20–40 minutes, you can curate your own path through the theatrical garden of delights.
Highlights Include:
Original Works by Peter Charney, Julia Darling, Trey McGee, Clay Wild Munley,, Anthony Marino, Julie Tran, Justin Cimino and Terry Knickerbocker Studio, Christy Hall, Danielle Fisher-Panepinto, Stephen Gracia, Monster of the Weak and more
