The Theater for the New City's Street Theater Company presents Gone Fission with free performances on the streets of all five boroughs throughout August.

TNC's award-winning Street Theater always contains an elaborate assemblage of trap doors, giant puppets, smoke machines, masks, original choreography and a huge (9' x 12') running screen or "cranky" providing continuous movement behind the actors.  Complex social issues are often presented through children's allegories, with children as the heroes, making these free productions a popular form of family entertainment.
