Elevator Repair Service is collaborating with playwright Sibyl Kempson on an original work for the stage. Work-in-progress showings will give audiences a first look at this new play.

Your father was Frankenstein but your mother was Radiohole!!!

It’s coming! From the deep dark recesses of the mind of Radiohole, creator of blasphemy! The monster created by a group they called mad is turned loose to strike terror in the hearts of the public! To shock women into uncontrollable hysterics! To prey upon the innocence of children! This is the story you’ve heard about, talked about—completely strange, full of whims and bodily fluids—the spine-tingling, blood-chilling show that stuns your emotions! FRANKENSTEIN! Brought to you in full inflatable hydrocarbon splendor…

The star studded cast of this particular spectacular very limited work-in-progress showing includes: Erin Douglass, Maggie Hoffman, Eric Dyer (the Toogis), Mark Jaynes, Joseph Silovsky (a prince), and appearing live via an incredibly long tube, for the first time ever, the Lord of Chaos himself, Victor Morales.

Featuring Jim Fletcher, Ari Fliakos, Modesto Jimenez, Sibyl Kempson, Chris Kraus, Scott Shepherd, Kate Valk, and more.

Erje Ayden is a Turk who writes in English. He has lived in New York since the ’50s. His published works include the underground bestseller The Crazy Green of Second Avenue; Sadness at Leaving, the espionage novel English critics called a masterpiece; The Summer Frank O’Hara Died; and his recent collection of short stories, A Lost Cloud.

“Ayden is the traditional ‘foreigner’… an alien wherever he is, probing and disfiguring ordinary reality, accepting its most peculiar and neurotic aspects as quite unexceptional. Through his eyes we see an ‘Amerika’ as odd as Kafka’s; as funny and absurdly sad.” —Frank O’Hara

Live action PacMan with co-ed wrestling in cocktail attire. After hours tests of purported ESP. Ritualized tournament murders. In ARCANE GAME, five “players” struggle to reproduce their visions (the visions sent to them by Roxy Snodgrass) through a bizarre rite/experiment designed to find some meaning in (get some answers out of) this bleak and empty universe. Current Wooster Group company members Jamie Poskin and Matt Schloss team up with Robert Wilson collaborator Andrew Gilchrist on the debut work of the United Broadcasting Theater Company. More info »

United Broadcasting Company is in a development residency at The Performing Garage in preparation for performances at Incubator Arts Project.

In this quirky and intriguing U.S. premiere, Spanish choreographer Cuqui Jerez employs the simple process of the rehearsal, an integral component of traditional theater practice, as a starting point from which she explores and questions the witness’s reality.

The piece is created and performed by Maria Jerez, Cristina Blanco, Cuqui Jerez, Amaia Urra, and Gilles Gentnerm and directed by Jerez.

“The curtain rises and we see the fiction within the fiction within the fiction within the fiction. The curtain falls.” —Cuqui Jerez
