SLANTED FLOORS Returns to Its Greenpoint Apartment for Limited Run

Following critical acclaim and sold-out performances, Slanted Floors returns for a strictly limited five-week engagement in its original Greenpoint apartment setting. Performances will run May 26 through June 26, 2026, with 150 seats available. Tickets are now on sale.

Created and produced by Billy McEntee and directed and produced by Ryan Dobrin (Associate Director: Becky Shaw, Merrily We Roll Along), the site-specific play reunites original cast members Lucille Lortel Award and Drama Desk Award nominee Kyle Beltran (A Case for the Existence of God, The Flick, Gloria) and Lortel Award nominee Adam Chanler-Berat (“Gossip Girl,” Next to Normal, Mother Russia), whose performances were widely praised in the production's initial run.

Produced in association with Patrick Catullo (Oedipus, American Utopia) and Clint Ramos (Here Lies Love, Eclipsed), Slanted Floors offers an intimate, theatrical experience that blurs the line between audience and performer, unfolding within the confines of a real apartment.

In Slanted Floors, Kaplan (Chanler-Berat) has a hard time separating the media he consumes from the gigs he works and the ideas he tries to execute. It's all a stressful, funny dance, but his partner Teddy (Beltran) is coming home soon to serve a special dinner. You are invited to witness the surreal in one freelancer's day, share in the meal of two partners dining, dishing, and dreaming, and behold the un-remarkability of queer domesticity.

"The singular experience Billy and Ryan created meant many audiences didn't have the chance to see Slanted Floors during its initial run,” Catullo and Ramos said in a joint statement. “We're thrilled to bring it back, giving more theatergoers the opportunity to experience it."

“We were profoundly moved by the way audiences embraced this intimate, site-specific apartment production,” McEntee and Dobrin said. “It means everything to have Patrick and Clint — two artists and producers we deeply admire — supporting this return so the work can reach more people. Theatre doesn't require a traditional stage; it can exist anywhere people come together, and this piece leans into that liveness and sense of shared experience.”

Jackson McHenry included Slanted Floors on his Vulture list for Best Plays of 2025, praising, “I recognize that it's inside baseball to recognize a production that played to only a half-dozen audience members a night inside an apartment in Greenpoint, but I hope it's cause enough to bring Slanted Floors back to a larger audience.”

Helen Shaw, in her year-end piece for The New Yorker, wrote, “In a year full of apartment shows, I particularly loved Slanted Floors, where Kyle Beltran and Adam Chanler-Berat played a couple trying to imagine utopia.” Tim Teeman, for The Daily Beast, said “the play shows the power of evoking the ordinary to unpeel something profound.”

McEntee and Dobrin, Drama Desk Award nominees for their previous site-specific collaboration, The Voices in Your Head, bring back Slanted Floors for 150 audience members only in its original Greenpoint, Brooklyn apartment. The play is staged for an audience of six and set around a dinner. No-fee and no-tax tickets start at $79, include a meal, and can now be reserved. Audiences should note that they will have to climb two sets of stairs in a walk-up building to access the performance.
