“I can see this is hallowed ground to you by the Ground Zero hats, t-shirts and umbrellas you and your children are wearing.”
A series of fast paced rants from a Tour Guide, Police Officer, Mortician, Soccer Coach, Deli Owner and more, ‘The New York Monologues’ is a humorous, poignant and unapologetic reflection of how a nation’s most talked about tragedy affected the world’s most neurotic, cynical and irreverent city.

Mike Poblete (Writer)
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY Mike lived several years in Dublin, Ireland where he became acquainted with The Attic Studio. He received his first series of professional readings which eventually lead to three productions. He recently moved back to New York and has joined the management of Backyart, a multi-disciplinary arts collaborative based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Mike has penned ‘Stoker’ (Organic Productions, 2009) and ‘Antenora’ (The Attic Studio, 2008). He is very excited for the New York premiere of The New York Monologues.
