Stealing the Sunshine to Light Up the Stage

Solar 1 Performing Arts and Education Center

by Jocelyn Gonzales

NEW YORK, NY August 04, 2008 —On 23rd St, between the FDR Drive and the East river, sits a small unassuming building, about the size of a one bedroom loft, with a patio out back that doubles as a stage. The Solar 1 Arts and Education center, presents dance troupes, comedians, bands and theatre groups. What sets it apart from other venues? The place runs on sunshine.
