The Archive Residency is a vital incubator for New York City's most electrifying independent theater companies. This two-year residency offers companies an artistic home for the development and presentation of a new work. Each residency culminates with a world premiere production. Now in its sixth year, the Archive Residency is a collaboration between New Ohio Theatre and IRT Theater (likeminded neighbors in the historic Archive Building in the West Village).

After a failed uprising, the few remaining members of a controversial organization hide on New York's outer islands. They're rudderless. They think their leader is dead...until someone claiming to be his wife washes ashore. She says he's alive. And he's looking for her. Black Revolutionary Theatre Workshop and A Laboratory for Actor Training are proud to present AFTERSWARM, a spiritual sequel to BRTW's genre-bending conservative night-terror, REVOLUTION.

REVOLUTION is a genre-bending exploration of a Fox News nightmare. With an enduring legacy of violence, injustice, and white supremacy, what happens when Black people just can't take it anymore? Told through a series of snapshot-like moments along the course of the revolution, audiences follow the fight for Black liberation in America through eyes of would-be revolutionaries and the surprising personalities they encounter in the fight.
