MANMADE EARTH returns home to a two-week run to Torn Space in Buffalo, NY.

“Without flash or shtick the cast creates a pressure-sealed lock on the room, where outside influence, prejudice, judgment and doubt struggle for air. It is amazing to feel the grace in listening, the power in eye-contact … Beyond all of their tropes, what implicates us as an (almost) passive audience is our ability to connect with these actors by merely being among them. This project is an exercise in civics, make no mistake, but it is also a dear love letter to theater. That in this room, for this hour, we get to float in space together as one. What a thrill.”

(And also, here’s the local news featuring several members of the cast.)

Into a week of early development rehearsals with Paul Zimet and Ellen Maddow of the Talking Band, as we build a new piece for Paul and Ellen to perform. Stay tuned in 2020 for more details about this new project.

How do you rehearse a project that is built for 1,000 strangers? We’re in rehearsals for 1,000 WAYS TO LISTEN. If you’re interested, sign up for one of the slots to come try it out. (Thank you to all the folks who have come in so far!)

We’re almost there! Thank you to Lumberyard Center for Film and Performance and Mount Tremper Arts for providing us with space and time to work on MANMADE EARTH. Next stop: Invisible Dog and the Crossing the Line Festival. Brooklyn here we come!

THE FEVER opens this week in New York City as a part of The Public Theater’s Onassis Festival. It’s been a minute since we premiered this piece here at home. First week of shows is nearly sold out, but tickets remain for week two. Here’s link for tickets. See you on the ice.

Since the beginning of January, we’ve been artists-in-residence at NYU / Tisch School of the Arts Department of Drama (!) working with students on FICTION. – a brand new something. Aileen, Sterling, John, Maxwell, Bia, Iris, Giorgia, Cesar, Monique, Jack, Cara, Katherine, Ricky, and Taylor: thank you for your amazing work.

Hot damn. The Fever is coming home. April 11th through 21st at La Mama – a co-presentation with La Mama, The Public Theater, and Onassis USA. Get yer tickets here. (Also additional tour dates added to our calendar.)

New project in development: we’ll be in-residence this fall at the incredible Torn Space Theater in Buffalo, NY to be developing something brand-new that we’re calling Manmade Earth. Here’s a little more about our residency, in partnership with the University of Buffalo’s School of Architecture. Come see what we make on November 16, 17, 18 in Buffalo.

Just home from bringing The Fever to the Kimmel Center in Philly where we had our 100th performance (what.) and the amazing Luminato Festival. Thanks, Toronto, for the hospitality. And now? Enjoying the summer and prepping for the busy fall that’s on the horizon. Upcoming collaborations with Torn Space Theater in Buffalo, NY, Temple Contemporary in Philadelphia, and our dear friends Theaterformen in Hannover, Germany. And also stay tuned for new dates of The Fever on tour. We’re (probably) headed your way. Especially if you live in Sarajevo. Or Dublin. Or Washington D.C.
