THE NATIONAL NEW PLAY NETWORK ROLLING WORLD PREMIERE
FEBRUARY 25 – MARCH 3, 2019
Remember when you were eleven years old and you had a bike, one that made you dream about a world bigger than the one in which you live?
ALLISON LEWIS TOWBES
This is that memory.
Except it is now.
MARCEL MASCRO
A story of gentrification, hope, and resilience, Red Bike is the visually rich and highly kinetic story of changing cities and the fears we face on the precipice of the big wide world.
