In June 2019, in a reclaimed sushi factory in Queens, New Neighborhood produced Filibustered and Unfiltered, the first 24-hour reading of the entire [redacted] Mueller Report, which inspired more than a dozen similar events in communities across the country. Featured everywhere from the Los Angeles Times (“a live-theater summer sensation!”) to Breitbart News (“the single most boring and pointless way to waste your time!”), the tidal wave of readings reached its apex when it was name-checked during Robert Mueller’s nationally televised Congressional testimony. In the 1960s, these kinds of events might have been called “happenings.” Today, New Neighborhood calls them LIVE ACTIONS, socially interactive theatrical installations that change and grow as audience members contribute their own unique voices and perspectives to the conversation.
