In Dialogue
The Very Very Very Best City in the Entire World
In The Downtown Loop with Ben Gassman
By Paul Ketchum
Unlike nearly every playwright I know, Ben Gassman grew up in New York City. Till I was six I lived in central Queens, a neighborhood called Rego Park, he tells me. I remember getting stung by a bee on my ass on the wood floor in my panel-created room just off the kitchen in our apartment. But mostly I grew up in Eastern Queens, a neighborhood called Hollis Hills.
