Theater for the New City's award-winning Street Theater Company presents Home Sweet Home, or A Life in New York, a rip-roaring original musical that tells a story of a young orphan, born in America but longing to understand his roots, as deportations shake the lives of his immigrant friends.   

The production is staged with an elaborate assemblage of trap doors, giant puppets, smoke machines, masks, original choreography and a huge (9' x 12') running screen or "cranky" providing continuous moving scenery behind the actors.
