Is it peculiar to still be doing virtual performance post-pandemic? It's nice to be asked to talk about theater, again, so here's to kicking-off our new year, today, Jan. 9, 5:30pm.

Two Really BIG Reasons to Support Peculiar Works

We have a couple of productions coming up in 2025 that we just can't wait to share with you!

It's incredible how much Freedom's Last Stand has grown since the two 2023 workshops! Barry has been working with the talented creative team to tighten all of the screws on this immersive tragedy of conspiracies and extremism. We're thrilled to announce that it will be our May production: stayed tuned for more details to come!

We’re also excited by the progress of Barbara Barclay Yoshida's adaptation of Antigone. She’s been working on it all year and in December 2024, we premiered it in a standing-room only staged reading at La MaMa. Don't miss the full production coming at the end of 2025.

We're so grateful to all of our friends and supporters who've helped us realize our projects over the past 31 years (we couldn't do any of this without all of you)! But we hope everyone can chip in a little to help us make amazing new art in 2025. Visit Network for Good to donate today! https://www.networkforgood.org/donation/ExpressDonation.aspx?ORGID2=13-4089362

A Very Happy New Year to Everyone!

Looking forward to what this team will bring to HERE—we have no doubt that it'll continue to be some of the most exciting and innovative performance and art in NYC!

HERE’s Board of Directors is thrilled to announce the appointment of Jesse Cameron Alick, Annalisa Dias, Lanxing Fu, and Lauren Miller as Co-Directors of HERE!

The Co-Directors will collaboratively take on the artistic and executive leadership of HERE, overseeing the various functions of the organization and bringing each of their individual passions, skills, and artistry to nurture the vision of HERE as a whole.

In many ways, HERE’s new leadership model echoes the founding of the organization over 30 years ago. In 1993, four artists, Barbara Busackino, Tim Maner, Kristin Marting, and Randy Rollison, co-founded HERE as a vibrant and welcoming community that delights in supporting and launching a variety of artists with unique perspectives. HERE started with the simple idea that boundary pushing hybrid artists can best realize their visions if they are invited into a creative home that offers flexible resources to match their unlimited imaginations. That vision and artist-centered mission has continued under Marting who is stepping down this month from her role as Founding Artistic Director to make room for this new generation of leadership.

Please join us in welcoming Jesse, Annalisa, Lanxing, and Lauren as the new Co-Directors of HERE!

Please visit www.HERE.org for more information.

Thank you, Sally Jenkins! I found this the most practical explanation of why rehearsals are so important. And it's from a book about sports, The Right Call. It's on my shelf with other books about directing. ha!

Frank Blocker as Henryk Altman in
GOOD JEW
Edmond J. Safra Hall, 36 Battery Place, NYC

$36 tickets are 20% off until June 1: https://mjhnyc.org/events/goodjew/

Welcome to Henryk’s St. Louis den, circa 1986, where he reveals extraordinary adventures of survival during the Holocaust.

Join him on this amazing journey as relevant today as when it happened.

Stopped by rehearsal today. I hear producers are supposed to do that. I'm usually in the room, but not this time. Just thrilled that Jamibeth Margolis is directing Frank Blocker's GOOD JEW. I think this is going to be a terrific show, and we have 375 seats to fill at the Museum. One-Night-Only, I'm really gonna need friends to turn out on June 6, so mark your calendar NOW! https://mjhnyc.org/events/goodjew/
