John recreates The Battle of the Ruhr Pocket onstage as he talks about his life as a gay theatre performer.
A Trojan Woman brings an ancient story into the heart of today’s headlines. Set in the aftermath of war, a woman and her child find themselves alone in a ruined city, echoing the sorrow and devastation of the women of Troy after the city’s fall to the Greeks in the Trojan War. The play follows her journey as she steps into the voices of ten different characters — each one telling a story of loss and survival. At its core, it’s a mother’s grief that shows the lasting cost of war.
The Get Together is a three-day festival of live performance showcasing the work of artists from The Tank and Producer Hub communities.
The Get Together will consist of excerpts, work-in-progress performances, full showings, networking, and a party. This goal of the event is to celebrate our artistic communities through an in person gathering and share highlights of the work created amongst us.
Three works from The BKPK, Melissa Ingle & Sevrin Willinder, and 23.5° Tilt Theater Company featuring live-drawn performance, clowning, and puppetry.
Three works by Sara Farrington, Ten Toes Theater Collective, and a TBA company: a solo multi-voice performance, a surreal sibling hunting fable, and a third piece to be announced soon.
CLOWN SHOW is a portrait of America as a… falling-apart clown show. Geoff Sobelle (FOOD, HOME, The Object Lesson) leads the charge of a small army of clowns with an original score played live on questionable instruments and often featuring the songs of Elvis Perkins. Happy Birthday America, you don’t look a day over … how old was Rome when she fell? Happy Birthday.
Three works by Maleek Rae/amani meliyah, Lianah Sta. Ana, and a TBA company: BODYCOUNT, a visceral play set in a cruising park centering Black queer connection and reclamation; PERFORMING FILIPINA, a history-infused “kind-of musical” weaving folk song, memory, and identity; and a third piece to be announced.
Part play, part high-stakes game of emotional Russian Roulette, Out of Order puts Carl’s fate in the hands of a giant bowl of index cards. Each one tells him—and all of us—what to do next. No performance is ever the same.
From Edinburgh Fringe favorites Xhloe and Natasha comes a night of absurdist clown, stand up, and beating a dead horse. You've heard the one about the boy in the car crash? Something about his doctor and his mother? An hour of clown and comedy full of Xhloe and Natasha's signature style of physicality, fast pace, and absurdist humor, not weighed down by character, plot, or historical influence! If you love narrative, structure, and male dominated fields then you'll hate this show, but if a strange night of strange laughs is your thing, run, don't walk, just make sure to check your biases at the door.
Legendary is a solo musical that explores identity, belonging and transformation, leaping octaves and continents. We follow the Narrator, a queer asian immigrant living in the U.S., as they grapple with legacies: the ones they carry, and the ones they're building. Through circle singing and call and response, the audience helps sing the story into being. With each song, the Narrator shares a different chapter of their journey, and draw on an element of Chinese mythology, eventually finding their way towards the creation of a new myth. This is a vibrant, vulnerable and boundary-breaking piece of personal and collective healing.
What spirals when an absent father reaches out to his son over Instagram with no apologies, no remorse, and 20 years’ worth of unanswered questions? Written and performed by the son of a mother who tried, Savon Bartley tells a story about what boys become in the absence of men. It’s about the inheritance of silence, the ache of uncertainty, and the miracle of breaking the cycle. Written entirely in verse, Holes in the Shape of my Father is a poetic reckoning with manhood, memory, and what it means to grow up without a father.
First, there was Katie. Then, there was Little Katie. Little Katie is a show about little friends, big feelings, and the big little things we all need help with. Please do not leave.
DIRT by SOUR MILK (TRAFFIC, FEAST) is an interactive theatre experience where audiences rebuild New York after the East River vanishes—constructing an imagined neighborhood atop fifteen pounds of pudding.
A historical-ish new comedy about the literal lengths women must go to be recognized in their time!
Buddy thinks. Buddy ponders. Buddy wonders if he can write a happy ending for a tortured writer, a troubled housewife, and a tactless husband.
A darkly funny one-act where a grad student’s research presentation on love unravels into obsession, blurring the line between study and breakdown in a sharp, chaotic dissection of modern romance.
Join rogue wave for our mid season performance! Featuring works by Aryanna Allen, Caroline Alter, JG Luitje, and Catherine Messina, this performance will have a variety that all will enjoy!
A producer’s meeting unravels when two visitors arrive with a script, a plan, and unclear intentions. JERRY is an absurd one-act absurd about nouveau fascism and moviemaking.
A looping fever dream in a house that keeps turning back into a wheatfield, "Scarecrow" is an experimental dance theater deathbed hallucination where mind and body stand in open confrontation—a quiet, disorienting psychodrama set in a 1950s interior-wheatfield where memories deteriorate, the unseen insists on being felt, and the body returns to its limits.
A raw performance transforming sound and silence into an act of remembrance and resistance.
Kae (an Afro-Chinese, closet-queer, comic book artist) reconciles different aspects of her identity by escaping into a fantasy world where demons—such as family trauma, colorism, and more—are easier to slay. When she embarks on a journey to find extended family abroad, the lines between fiction and reality fade irreversibly.
A playful, imaginative, and cheeky romp into the world of BDSM and how it was the catalyst for a healing journey.
Honest, vulnerable, and full of soul, this play invites audiences into the moment when a dream, a community, and a young man’s identity are all in transition, and nothing is certain.
Experience the most poetic story of one New York City public school teacher’s miraculous and sometimes hilarious journey that will serve humanity as a simple but profound remedy for disconnection.
