When two newly married electricians move to Electchester everything seems perfect: spacious apartment, low rent, friendly neighbors, and an incredibly close-knit community. But as they settle in, they discover how much they may need to give up in order to really belong.

Alternating Currents is both a love letter to the community spirit of Electchester and a cautionary tale about the difficulties of creating community in the face of increased diversity.

Alternating Currents is part of Working Theater’s Five Boroughs/One City Initiative. The play was developed with 5 Boroughs artistic partners Adam Kraar, GT Upchurch and Tamilla Woodard, in partnership with IBEW Local 3, and through conversations with residents of Electchester, Pomonok Housing and the community in Flushing, Queens.
