BROOKLYN COMES TO VANCOUVER: NYC THEATRE ARTISTS PREMIERE “FOURTH AVENUE (BROOKLYN)” ON THE ROOFTOP OF TRU CAFÉ

Part of the 2025 Vancouver Fringe Festival | Sept 6–14

VANCOUVER, BC – This September, Vancouver audiences are invited to experience a bold, one-hour rooftop play straight from the heart of New York City. Fourth Avenue (Brooklyn), written and performed by acclaimed NYC theatre artists, will premiere at the 2024 Vancouver Fringe Festival as a Bring Your Own Venue production atop the Tru Café in Mount Pleasant.

Co-starring Moti Margolin (Grand Theft Auto, WWE ringside commentator, Mr. and Mrs. Smith) and Emily Louise Perkins (The Oregon Trail, Home/Sick),

Fourth Avenue (Brooklyn) is a searing and tender new play that delves fearless into the dark heart of real estate development in it's power to reshape both the city and the souls of it's inhabitants. As the buildings go up, the people change.

This site-specific performance blends intimate storytelling with the grit and lyricism of New York’s boroughs—staged against the Vancouver skyline.

Perkins and Margolin bring with them a body of work that has captivated critics and audiences alike:

“A poetic howl from the edges of America.” – Brooklyn Rail

“Emily Louise Perkins delivers a performance that is by turns fearless, funny, and devastating.” – Theater is Easy

“The flaws of each character are complemented by much love and humor, perfected by Emily Louise Perkins, whose near constant vulnerability is as disarmingly hilarious as it is heartbreaking.”
— Theater Is Easy

“Moti Margolin has a deep understanding of self-hatred and what it does to tragicomic characters. They can't do anything right.”
— New York Theatre Wire

Moti Margolin has been a staple on television, with guest spots on Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Blue Bloods, The Blacklist, The Americans, and many more.
