Robert Moses was one of the most polarizing figures in New York political history, and was probably the most powerful unelected official ever in the United States. He outlasted and outfought 5 governors, 6 mayors, and several Presidents. From the late 1920s to the mid 1960s anything that was built in New York City and New York State had to be approved by him. Jones Beach, the Verrazano Bridge, the renovation of Central Park in the 1930s, Lincoln Center, all of New York Cities public swimming pools, The Westside Highway, The United Nations, all of the parkways and highways that lead out of New York into Long Island and Westchester County, two World's Fairs, the list of his projects is literally endless.

But much of what he did destroyed neighborhoods and greatly accelerated inner city decay, and almost everything he did was aimed at the growing car culture of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. Of the billions of dollars of public infrastructure built under his control, not one dollar went towards mass transit. So the urban environment that we live in today is largely one created by Moses - we live in the world he left behind. Today, if you were stuck in traffic on the LIE, or your train to Bay Ridge broke down, or if you are a die-hard NY baseball fan, Moses life's work probably impacts your life more than you realize.

Performances are on Tuesdays - Thursdays at 7PM; Fridays and Saturdays at 8PM; Matinees are on Wednesdays & Saturdays at 2PM and Sundays at 3PM.
