New York Neo-Futurists Present THE BLACKEST WRENCH this February

In honor of Black History Month, the award-winning New York Neo-Futurists are pleased to announce THE BLACKEST WRENCH, a special edition of their weekly late-night show, THE INFINITE WRENCH, celebrating the Black-American voice in experimental theatre. The performers include all the current black Neos, as well as the return of notable NYNF alumni such as Kevin R. Free, the first black actor to play Bellomy in Off-Broadway's long-running The Fantasticks, and other marginalized ensemble members. For two performances only, THE BLACKEST WRENCH will be presented at The Kraine Theater (85 East 4th Street, New York, NY 10003) on Friday, February 9th and Saturday, February 10th at 10:30pm. $20 tickets for THE BLACKEST WRENCH are available at nynf.org, or by calling 866-811-4111.

THE BLACKEST WRENCH, written by the ensemble, offers up a full menu of 30 plays consisting of personal experiences, clever commentaries, and poignant observations surrounding what it's like to be a person of color in today's America. Through comedy, drama, story, song, and dance, the New York Neo-Futurists explore, challenge, and embrace the black experience in 2018.

"An entertaining forum for discussing the issues" - The New Yorker

The New York Neo-Futurists are a collective of wildly productive writer-director-performers that create theater that is fusion of sport, poetry and living-newspaper; non-illusory, interactive performance that conveys experiences and ideas as directly and honestly as possible; immediate, irreproducible events at affordable prices. Since opening in Brooklyn in 2004 the New York Neo-Futurists have premiered roughly 4,500 plays and have become a downtown New York institution. In addition to performing The Infinite Wrench fifty weeks a year and producing Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind from 2004 until 2016, the New York Neo-Futurists have been a stalwart presence in the Off-Off Broadway community, having won numerous Innovative Theatre Awards and Drama Desk Nominations. The Infinite Wrench unleashes a barrage of two-minute plays and while each one offers something different, be it funny, profound, elegant, disgusting, topical, irrelevant, or terrifying, all are truthful and tackle the here-and-now, inspired by the lived experiences of the performers.

Tickets for THE BLACKEST WRENCH are $20 and can be purchased online at nynf.org, or by calling 866-811-4111.

Tickets: General Admission $20 at nynf.org or 866.811.4111.
