THE MANNA-HATTA PROJECT

A New Promenade Journey through NYC History Begins...

The Manna-Hata Project RESET words overlayed on a sixteenth century woodcut of a Lenape settlement on Manhattan with a European schooner anchored in the harbor just offshore.

The Manna-Hata Project: RESET
A Work-in-Progress Staged Reading with Two Locations to Choose From:

SUNDAY, JUNE 23 @ 7pm:
Governors Island, near Castle Williams (map it)

MONDAY, JUNE 24 @ 7pm:
Chess at the Boardwalk, Hudson Tower Park (map it)

It's more than a reboot: we're scrapping the sold out 2013 production and starting over with brand new material from a team of writers to celebrate NYC history. Take a journey through all of the high and low points from more than 400 years of our city. Don't miss out on this first peek at the new direction for this project in two unique locations around the New York Harbor!
