About the show: Please Don’t Flush is a municipal comedy about a community board scheduled to vote on a mysterious waterfront development that neighbors and seagulls and plumbers are worried will increase inland flooding. Instead, the board is derailed by planning their bi-annual gala, celebrating their second-vice-chair’s half birthday, and locking the anti-anti-anti-anti-development coalition in the bathroom. Developed in deep partnership with NYC Emergency Management and the Waterfront Alliance, come find us in public spaces across the city with music, laughs, and resources about flooding this September. Please Don’t Flush is part of the Flood Sensor Aunty extended universe, a play which toured twenty public spaces across New York City, and was covered in Grist, NY1, the CITY, and more.

Supporters: This performance is supported by the Waterfront Alliance, New York City Emergency Management, and the Asian Women’s Giving Circle.
