FEAST: A Performance Series returns for its third season of monthly shows celebrating performance-based artists, community and food at UNDER St. Marks Theatre. Featuring a new lineup of performances every month, FEAST has supported the work of such artists as William Burke, Mary Spencer Knapp, Jonas Martin, Amy Jensen, and more from the worlds of theatre, dance, comedy, poetry, music, drag, and beyond.

FEAST produces a new show every first Monday of the month at 7pm. FEAST3: October, the first show of their third season, will take place on Monday, October 1st at 7pm. Every show features three artists from different performance-based disciplines who are developing new projects.

FEAST: A Performance Series takes place at UNDER St. Marks Theater, 94 St. Marks Place between 1st Avenue and Avenue of the Americas. The closest trains are the E/F at 2nd Avenue, and the L at 1st Avenue. During each show, audiences can enjoy UNDER St. Marks Theater's in-house bar as well as homemade snacks. Following each show, FEAST invites the artists and audience to Nightcap @ The Grafton, around the corner from the theater, where The Grafton provides reserved tables and happy hour specials for the FEAST community.

Tickets for any FEAST can be purchased online for $12 or at the door for $15. You can purchase tickets at www.feastperformance.com or by calling 212-777-6088. FEAST is produced and curated by Alex Randrup and Conrad Kluck, and co-produced by Horse Trade Theater Group.

FEAST3: October will feature new performances from playwright Claire Moodey, singer/songwriter Nandi Kayyy, and composer Alex Parrish.

Claire Moodey will present excerpts from "boob tube," a play about inertia, cancer, and toxicity, set mostly at a high school track field at a Relay for Life walk-a-thon. Claire's most recent work as a playwright, "femme pathos," was seen at The Brick as part of The Exponential Festival in 2018. Other recent credits include "We're Imploding: A Toy Theater Double Feature" at The Tank (performer), "The Space Between The Letters" at Jack (performer/devisor), "Before the Sun and Moon" with Mettawee River Theater Company (performer), "Daphne" at IRT (designer/performer), and "Forsaken Nation" at The Brick (director).

Nandi Kayyy is a Queer, Southern-born singer/songwriter based in Brooklyn. Drawing inspiration from artists like Imani Omari, Aaliyah, & The Internet, while being guided by Neo-soul ancestors like Erykah Badu, Nandi Kayyy delivers a sound from where 90s R&B meets space.

Alex Parrish will present "Blood From A Stone," a short dramatic musical theatre character study that deconstructs a woman who has lost her capacity for empathy. This is the first of five shorts that will eventually build a full-length musical that explores the destructive force of apathy on human lives. As a composer/orchestrator, Alex has created three full-length musicals, film adaptation treatments, and scores for multimedia spectaculars and short films. As a performer he has been seen at Playwrights Horizons, Ars Nova, Theatre Row, Dixon Place, Valley Shakespeare, Town Hall, Times Center, and 54 Below.
