We are kicking off our 36th season next Tuesday, September 15th @ 8 PM*

Tuesdays@9 is New York City’s longest-running cold reading series for your newest work-in-progress. Every week, we cast and present excerpts of new writing to an audience of fellow artists and supporters. Tuesdays@9 operates with an open submissions policy throughout the year, and hosts an open casting session at the start of each week. Tuesdays@9 has always been—and always will be—free and open to all artists and audience members.

Our next 1st Mondays of the season
will begin Monday, September 28th @ 7 PM
at Ernst C. Stiefel Hall – Arnhold Hall
at The New School | 55 W 13th St.

SAVE THE DATE for the next dates in our lineup:
Monday, October 19th & Monday, November 16th

1st Mondays is Naked Angels’ free monthly reading series of full-length plays developed through Tuesdays@9 New York. Once selected, completed works are provided a space, director, cast, and brief rehearsal period.

We are thrilled to continue our collaboration for our 2026-27 season with The New School for Drama, our partner in building community through theater.

We’ll see you all very soon! 🎭

A 3T Workshop at The Chelsea Foyer turned into an excursion! We were asked if we could have a workshop oUTsiDe!!! We explored the neighborhood with the students, had some dinner, did some improv and dreaming. A beautiful time. Many thanks to Culture for One, our partner in bringing the arts to foster youth. Each and every donor, you make it all possible. Adrian Baidoo Jhulenty Delossantos

40 years. One absolute banger of a party!!

To everyone who joined us, volunteered, performed, donated, or cheered us on from afar—thank you for making our 40th Anniversary Gala a celebration we’ll never forget.

And a special shout out to our fabulous sponsor Mijenta Tequila for crafting our signature Forty Angels cocktail, which made the evening even more special.

Founding Members reunited to share the stories that started it all. Artists from across our community filled the stage with unforgettable performances. New friendships were made, old ones rekindled, and together we celebrated the fearless spirit that has defined Naked Angels since 1986.

Because of your support, we can continue providing FREE, high quality creative development programs where playwrights, actors, filmmakers, and young people from historically disadvantaged communities discover their voices and create bold new work.

This celebration may be over, but our next chapter is just beginning.

Stay tuned over the coming weeks as we share more performances and highlights from the evening—including our Angels in Conversation panel hosted by Founding Member and host of the Ilana Levine, Ilana Levine.

For 24 years, Naked Angels’ 1ST MONDAYS has given New York City writers something invaluable: the chance to hear their full-length work come alive before an audience, completely free of charge.
From early drafts to productions, films, and award-winning projects, 1ST MONDAYS has helped countless artists take the next step in their creative journey. Most recently, YOYOs by Lexi Graboski and Michal Sinnott grew from a connection made at TUESDAYS@9 to a 1ST MONDAYS reading and is now in post-production as a feature film.
As we celebrate 40 years of Naked Angels, we’re also celebrating the artists, audiences, and supporters who have made programs like 1ST MONDAYS possible.
Join us on June 29 at our 40th Anniversary Gala and help ensure the next generation of writers continues to have a free space to develop bold new work.
🎟️ Tickets available at the link in bio.
