One of NYC’s hottest theater tickets isn’t on Broadway — it’s at the Port Authority

nypost.com:

hidden in the notoriously gritty transit hub — between a Dunkin’ Donuts and McAnn’s Pub — has become a hot ticket, selling out shows and turning into a raucous scene. “There is such a high foot traffic that it has great potential for theatrics,” said Anita Durst, Co-Founder and Artist Director of ChaShaMa, the nonprofit that transformed the vacant Port Authority space — formerly a Mrs.

Fields cookie shop — into a performance venue. “It’s kind of a perfect place for New Yorkers to experience all this art and be surprised by it,” she added.ChaShaMa, which works to turn unused spots throughout the city into creative spaces, took over the Port Authority theater three years ago and brought in various artists, from beatboxers to street performers.

The venue has really taken off since ChaShaMa welcomed the Love Show, a theater group previously based in Bushwick, into the theater last year.

In recent months, the Love Show has staged “The Bride: A Kill Bill Ballet,” a dance piece paying homage to the Quentin Tarantino film, and various free Christmas performances at the bustling bus terminal, which has some 280,000 people walk through it each day.
