🚨 PLEASE DON’T FLUSH IS COMING TO JAMAICA! 🚨

Get ready for a hilarious and thought-provoking community performance about flooding, waterfront development, and what happens when a community board gets… distracted. 😂

Before and after the performance, stop by the resource tables hosted by community partners, including the 149th Street South Ozone Park Civic, Chhaya CDC, South Queens Women’s March, NYC Emergency Management, Waterfront Alliance, Center for NYC Neighborhoods, and more.

🎭 About the Play

Please Don’t Flush is a municipal comedy about a community board preparing to vote on a mysterious waterfront development that neighbors, seagulls, and plumbers fear could increase inland flooding.

But instead of focusing on the issue, the board becomes consumed with planning its bi-annual gala, celebrating the second vice-chair’s half birthday, and locking the anti-anti-anti-development coalition in the bathroom.

Developed in deep partnership with NYC Emergency Management and the Waterfront Alliance, Please Don’t Flush is part of the Flood Sensor Aunty extended universe—a community-centered performance that has toured 20 public spaces across New York City and received coverage from Grist, NY1, THE CITY, and more.

Come for the comedy, stay for the resources, and learn more about how flooding impacts our communities. 🌊
