The 10th season will open with Romulus Linney's masterful play, Holy Ghosts after a 40-year absence from the New York Stage. Set in present-day rural Tennessee, a group of broken, Pentecostal outcasts find solace, understanding, and strength in one another as they wrestle with their own serpents and discover their divinity. The production will run at Urban Stages, 259 West 30th Street, September 21st through October 6th.

Theatre East joins NYC Pride to celebrate with a special installment of the Neighborhood Reading Series Monday, June 18 as part of Pride Week.

The 5X5 Drama Series was founded in 2016 to bring great new plays beyond the footlights and into nontraditional spaces like breweries, rooftops, and taverns to provide an immersive and unique audience experience. The 90-minute program consists of 5 short plays performed by 5 casts and is performed in all 5 boroughs. Fulfilling one of our core beliefs to make theatre more accessible to all, 5X5 brings the stage directly to the people in the spaces where they gather, learn and relax. Best of all, tickets are available on a suggested donation basis. Seating is very limited. For reservations and performance times, visit www.theatreeast.org.
