Executive-produced by TONY Award winning producer Terry Schnuck, this much-anticipated-one-person show recounts Galinsky’s journey from childhood in the suburbs of Connecticut, through his interactions with hipsters in the Lower East Side of New York City, to his work with young people incarcerated in Rikers Island. As always, expertly embodying multiple characters through storytelling and rock-star level poetry, he explores the
harmony and turmoil of living in NYC from his arrival in the late 1980’s to his exile and banishment from the notorious Rikers Island jail in 2022.

Some media kudos:
“Galinsky’s ‘BANG!’ is touching, sweet, grungy, and saturated with humor. The word play has a
musicality to it that is likened to the beat poets of the ’50s and at times, dips into the coolness and
complexity of a Charlie Parker bebop jazz piece.” — Mark Schoenfeld, Creator of “Brooklyn the Musical”
“Robert Galinsky, playwright and the de facto Mayor of New York’s East Village, is a most inspiring
breed of human being. Part time poet, part-time artist, part-time digital entrepreneur, part-time actor
and full-time street philosopher.” – Upscale Living Magazine
