Andrzej Zarzycki and Sapir Ng are moving from “What if?” to “Why not?” The winners of the SHIFTBoston competition in January were at PechaKucha Boston last Wednesday, where they introduced TUTS.
TUTS (Tremont Underground Theater Space) has a core team of Andrzej, Sapir and Tina Vaz, along with graphic/visual branding help from graphic designer Laura Nathanson. Beyond introducing the concept of TUTS to the PechaKucha crowd, Andrzej said, “We also talked about meetings we are initiating with various individuals from design, arts and social activism communities to develop broader support for our project.”
I missed their talk, but am very excited to hear how their efforts are progressing. Boston loves its history, and its theater, and this would fall in line perfectly with both of those.
One question I have: If this moves from beyond a concept phase and towards reality, how will they be able to mitigate the noise of the adjoining subway system — the Green Line to the west, and the Orange Line to the east — in order to hold theatrical performances? This will be an interesting challenge to see them address.
