HOMOS! A Solo Disaster Musical, Bitch.
Local Queer Dan Kitrosser wrote a queer post-apocalyptic musical but has always hated scheduling actors. So now, just like the chronic masturbator, he’s going to do it himself! Playing all the roles, singing songs about the end of times, some of them are existential, all of them have innuendo.. But as Dan pieces his ‘end of day’s show together, song by song, reconstructing a deconstruction of disaster stories in this…
Finding Melania
Finding Melania is a solo show merging dark clowning, surreal metaphors and utter silliness in an exploration of authoritarian and populist regimes and our complicite in enabling them to exist and continue. Melania, still lurking around in the bowels of the White House, invites us into her lonely world, where she takes us through the pains and gains of what it really means to “stand by your man”. Created and…

SHITTER
Why are we so brilliant in the bathroom? Sitting alone with our thoughts and our bodies, reaping consequences of the choices we made with our mouths and appetites, we are at our most human. The bathroom is a unifier between body and mind that allows us to think of things that we wouldn’t otherwise. It’s a place you can talk to yourself, have a breakthrough, re-compose yourself. It’s a place…
Split Bill: 2023 / something soft
This year Christina has had a walking ritual of visiting and observing houses with the address number 2023. Some accumulated rules for the task: perceiving with all 5 senses, seeing each building facade as if it’s a dancer on stage potentially sharing some light touch and connection with 2021 and/or 2025, noticing intermittent repulsion or fascination amidst the repetition and counting cornices, stoop steps, and windows. What does it all…
Alabama Story by Kenneth Jones – A New Jersey and Regional Premiere
This production is a must-see for everyone! As the Civil Rights movement is brewing, a controversial children’s book about a black rabbit marrying a white rabbit stirs the passions of a segregationist State Senator and a no-nonsense State Librarian in 1959 Montgomery, Alabama. Meanwhile, the story of two childhood friends — an African-American man and a woman of white privilege, reunited in adulthood — provides a private counterpoint to the…
Ashes Ashes
Shuttling between 80s New York and 50s Hiroshima, this new play explores imagined encounters between a Japanese-American reporter, a Japanese survivor-turned-prostitute, and the pilot and co-pilot of the Enola Gay. An exploration of the costs of total war and the minds of its apologists. Originally slated to premiere at Theater for the New City on August 6, 2020, the 75th anniversary of the bombing.
Sad Boys in Harpy Land
Alexandra Tatarsky collages narratives of artmaking and despair into a semi-autobiographical tour-de-farce, as told by a young Jewish woman who thinks she is a small German boy who thinks he is a tree. Equal parts sad clown, demented cabaret, and extended crisis of meaning, this unhinged solo performance takes place in the hellscape of the mind, to ask what we might learn from our own demons. Sad Boys in Harpy…
Truth In Time
Truth In Time is a devised movement piece that explores the child’s perspective of the world and how that perspective changes over time. As a child, the people closest to you ensure that your outlook on life is nothing short of wonderful. As you grow older, bits and pieces of the truth about the world begin to reveal themselves to you. The music selections you will hear reflect the choreographer’s,…
Tristan Tzara Was My Best Friend In Junior High
A new Passover Seder as designed by the Dadaist poet Tristan Tzara. Instead of telling the Passover story, this ritual commemorates the time that all the other Dadaists decided to stop doing Dada and go and invent Surrealism, and Tristan Tzara was not invited. The audience is invited to sit around the dinner table, drink four glasses of wine, and be a part of this immersive meditation on community, friendship…
