NY Times: The Red Cars, Not Red Coats, are Coming
By Andy Newman
Joe McCarthy sees Redcoats everywhere in Brooklyn. In his mind's eye, British troops come surging by the tens of thousands off the war boats massed in the Narrows off Bay Ridge, just as they did on the humid, breezy morning of Aug. 27, 1776. Mr. McCarthy wants everyone to be able to see what he sees.

"Not the usual re-enactment of a battle of the American Revolution ... a story of putting a cause first over personal safety... fast-paced... History teachers in junior high school and above will want to use this production with classes studying the American Revolution as well as New York history."
