The NYPD bomb squad is investigating an explosion that occurred shortly after 1 am outside of a four-story Chelsea building that is home to Studio Dante, a non-profit theater founded by Michael Imperioli, who played Spider in Goodfellas and Christopher in "The Sopranos."

The police department released this short statement:

As Runnin' Scared reported last month, Michael Rispoli is preparing a one-man show about the life of Jimmy Breslin at the same theater.
