The Hidden Jewelbox Theater: August Showings
The Love Show
Through the magic of a space grant from Chashama and a City Artist Corps Grant from New York Foundation for the Arts, The Love Show has once again transformed a former Mrs. Fields cookie shop in the Port Authority Bus Terminal into a pop-up theater and live arts event venue. As one of the city’s main entry points, and one that is located in the heart of The Theater District, the transportation hub is the ideal location for an experience that immediately immerses travelers in the arts culture of New York. The space is alive with The Love Show’s original dance and theater performances, and the company will also host other performance artists in the community, with artisanal pop-ups, and shows ranging from comedy to magic, puppetry, and live music.
