SHOTZ! features a mix of Broadway, Off-Broadway, regional theater, and TV talent, with six new plays coming at you the first Monday of every month! **Note: This will be the final SHOTZ! of the 2018 season!

From the Birmingham Institute of Theatre Arts comes a foundation trust to support those young people who cannot, or struggle to, afford drama school auditions, extra courses and classes or indeed anything that might further their ambitions of success in the performing arts.

SHOTZ! is a theatrical pressure cooker that every month pairs 6 groups of actors, writers, and directors together to create brand new 10-minute plays, and perform them the first Monday of the month (but due to the holiday this month it's the second Monday!) at The Kraine Theater, 85 E. 4th St., NY. Unified by three common criteria, each collection of plays captures a variety of perspectives around the month's theme, and is the best, most consistent showcase of up-and-coming talent in NYC theater.

These are deep philosophical waters but important to understanding the work of Broken Box Mime Theater, whose mission is threefold: 1) 'To activate the imagination of audiences,' 2) 'to contemporize the art of mime,' and 3) 'to remind us all of the power of simple storytelling.' SEE REVERSE consists of ten individual pieces, some of which include some combination of eight enormously talented performers with backgrounds ranging from theater to opera to poetry: Nick Abdeel, Becky Baumwoll, Duane Cooper, Geraldine Dulex, Blake Habermann, David Jenkins, Marissa Molnar, and Matt Zambrano. Surprisingly, not one has formal dance training, which makes the precision of their physical movement all the more remarkable.
