Recollection: A Hoboken Story

Inheritance Theater Project (ITP) presents an original performance by and for the people of Hoboken.

A young person sets out to understand why her family may need to leave their hometown of Hoboken—and soon realizes the problems run deeper than she knew. As she seeks support from neighbors, we’re invited to consider what pushes people aside and envision a stronger community together. This performance was shaped by over 500 Hobokenites and 15 local organizations who joined the Inheritance Theater Project over the last 9 months to share stories, make art, and build relationships across the Mile Square City.
