We are very excited to have you back at our in-person events at BPL. Please be considerate of your fellow guests and stay home if you’re feeling unwell. Also, consider wearing a mask when attending indoor BPL Presents events. You’ll be doing your part to help keep yourself and everyone healthy and safe.
Grand Pistachio creates original theater for young people utilizing larger than life forms of puppetry, mask, and music. Our mission is to engage audience empathy and open new ways for young people to view each other, the world, and their role in it.
Layer the Walls is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council.
