BETWEEN RIVERSIDE & CRAZY at American Stage

Tampa Bay Area Premiere
Directed by Benjamin T. Ismail
HUSTLE. OUT LOUD. City Hall is demanding more than his signature: the landlord wants him out, the dog is a nuisance and the liquor store is closed. Ex-cop & widower Walter “Pops” Washington and his recently paroled son Junior, have spent a lifetime living between Riverside and crazy. When the struggle to hold on to one of the last great rent-stabilized apartments on Riverside Drive collides with old wounds and sketchy new houseguests, Pops decides to take matters into his own hands with a final ultimatum, while everyone else hustles to get what they think they deserve.

“Somewhere south of cozy and north of dangerous,
west of sitcom and due east of tragedy.”
