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 voices of POC in experimental theatre. The performers include Hilary Asare, Anooj Bhandari, Rayne Harris, T Thompson, and the return of Nicole Hill. 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 22nd and Saturday, February 23rd 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 exploring the black experience through a variety of aesthetics and performance forms. From poignant to joyful, silent to musical, forthcoming to abstract, THE BLACKEST WRENCH combines our aesthetic foundations with our aim of creating theatre as sport, poetry, and living newspaper to invite a new diversity of audience members into our community. THE BLACKEST WRENCH is a celebration of both Neo-Futurists of Color and Black History Month, and an opportunity for the folks of color in the company to showcase a diversity of their experiences as they navigate the world around them.
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 over 5,000 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. Most recently, The Infinite Wrench took home the 2017 Innovative Theatre Foundation Award for "Outstanding Performance Art Production".
