Kaliyuga Arts was founded in 1986 by John Sowle and Steven Patterson. We produced in LA, SF and NYC
Our production company, Kaliyuga Arts, was originally founded in Los Angeles, California in 1986. From its inception, it has been dedicated to the presentation of off-beat, challenging work, and has established an ever-expanding reputation for artistic excellence with a wide range of material. Kaliyuga Arts is now the resident theatre company at Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill, NY.
Operating as usual
And here's a link to our Kaliyuga page on True Love Lies.
In 2012 Kaliyuga Arts presented its first Upstate New York production, Lanford Wilson's THE MOUND BUILDERS, and it was selected as one of the ten best productions of 2012 by Metroland. For our second outing we presented the area premiere of TRUE LOVE LIES by Canadian playwright Brad Fraser.
We're continuing our journey with Brad Fraser with Shelley's Shadow at Bridge Street Theatre. Here are reviews from the first one, Poor Super Man, SF 1997.
"Clever and witty and definitely worth seeing! The play is almost cinematic in form, shifting swiftly from one locale to another and with dialogue which is terse, sparse and sometimes brutally realistic ... Excellently staged by John Sowle and well acted by its cast ... Tall, lean and hard-muscled S...
Today (August 19) marks the anniversary of the assassination of Federico Garcia Lorca. One of our proudest accomplishments as producers (and human beings) is that we were able to present the U.S. premiere of his play EL PUBLICO in a tiny waiver house in Los Angeles back in 1989.
Sad news. Conflicts have arisen and we've had to postpone our screening of JD Urban's Bridge Street Belly Dance documentary, BEFORE, originally scheduled for Saturday evening August 28. We'll be sure to keep you informed on the new screening date as soon as we're able!

It's the Birthday of Gertrude Stein. Kaliyuga Arts had a deep connection to Stein's work: Our very first production was Al Carmines' musical version of her one-act A CIRCULAR PLAY and our final production in Manhattan was a revival of the same show, IN CIRCLES, at Judson Church just off Washington Square, where the show had its original premiere. We also presented her play DO LET US GO AWAY.A PLAY on a double-bill with Ned Rorem's opera version of her THREE SISTERS WHO ARE NOT SISTERS in San Francisco as part of EXIT Theatre's 1998 Absurdist Series.

Remember JD Scalzo (Rowdy in our pre-BST production of Brad Fraser's KILL ME NOW over in Hudson)? He wound up in San Francisco for a while afterwards and starred as Patroclus in this production for New Conservatory Theatre Center there in 2017. They'll be streaming an archival video at no cost between January 26 and February 23. Should definitely be worth checking out. We do love us some JD (AND also some "Iliad").
🚨Streaming Alert🚨
We're thrilled to announce our release of the filmed dress rehearsal of 2017's critically acclaimed production, "warplay". Streaming free from Jan 26-Feb 23rd, don't miss your chance to revisit this powerful production.
