In the early 2000s, the Bushwick area of Brooklyn began radically gentrifying. In Stoop Pigeons, we witness a decade that illuminates the cultural changes of a Bushwick neighborhood and the people who inhabit it. As the block undergoes a metamorphosis, neighborhood figureheads like Ms. Suzy are suffering financially and mentally. Elders, like Big Mary and Mista Petie, do all they can to keep their people together. The kids who grew up on the block, like Tanya, Lexi, and Bridgit, face the challenges of losing the only home they have ever known. Their living conditions reach another level when a gentrifier, Amanda, meets a returning neighbor, Mario. Their relationship demonstrates how gentrification can amplify drug-related crime, as this updated demographic introduces a fancier clientele. Although there are new players in the game, it is still the Black and Brown folks who are severely affected. As their worlds take a turn for the worst, what will they do to ensure that nobody gets left behind? Is it all inevitable? Stoop Pigeons is a story about poverty, miseducation, addiction, and mental health. What does it mean for these neighbors to stay left behind in a society that continues to incriminate them and neglect their basic human needs?

Ana loves Dom. Clara loves Faye. Dom loves Ana and Faye. Love and opioids are the drugs of this time. Everyone is conflicted one way or another. These people are living in a crisis.

Towards the end of 2020, after several deadly #BLM protests, a series of terrorizing police brutality incidents, and a global pandemic: the streets of New York City were full of poverty and anarchy. Several areas of NYC were full of crime because the NYPD no longer entered them. Protests became more and more dangerous for unarmed civilians. The unemployment rate was so devastating that many New Yorkers (and people all over the USA) were in massive amounts of debt, went bankrupt, had their homes foreclosed, and struggled for food and shelter. Evaristo, Keisha, alongside their Black & Latino comrades, organized to establish law and order in their communities. This group was called the Black & Brown Guerrillas (The BBG). The BBG, through grassroots efforts, excels at creating chapters all around the country. With their political influence, the BBG creates a new party of politics (The Freedom Party) that elects America’s first Black female President, Keisha Hampton. This new system of government creates a multi-party system that overthrows outdated methods of governing, allowing more progressive policies to take precedence. This play is a tribute to The Black Panthers and The Young Lords, recognizing their contributions to liberating The People and fighting for equality. What can we learn about their movements? Can we replicate movements like theirs today? If so, how? The central questions in this play are: how do we organize and start a revolution? What is the best way to do it- through political action or by fighting and protesting with our bodies?
