THE TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL IS NOT THROWING ITS STREET FAIR
There will be other events in place of the Tribeca Family Festival. Residents along Greenwich are likely to be thrilled at the news, while local businesses will be disappointed.

························

Tribeca PAC presents the exciting tale of The Lightning Thief. Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school… again. And that’s the least of his troubles! Zeus’s master lightning bolt has been stolen and Percy is the prime suspect. Now Percy has ten days to find and return Zeus’s stolen property and bring peace to Mount Olympus. This production, by Theatreworks USA, was nominated for a 2015 Lucille Lortel Award (Outstanding Musical). Ages 6-11 years old. Tribeca PAC is located on the BMCC campus, 199 Chambers.  Call 212-220-1460 or click here for tickets. Sponsored.
