Crane’s ‘The Bridge’ inspires musical theatre production
Brooklyn Historical Society, Columbia Arts Team Present Piece that Explores Building of Brooklyn Bridge
Famed poet Hart Crane’s “The Bridge,” among the most celebrated, enduring tributes to the Brooklyn Bridge, has inspired a new piece of art that explores the building of the great landmark that has come to define and symbolize Brooklyn. From Oct. 15 to 17, Brooklyn Historical Society (BHS) and Columbia Arts Team will present a workshop production — and the New York City premiere — of Matt Marks’ and Liv Cummins’ “The Bridge,” which examines the building of the bridge through Crane’s epic poem.
