Dixon Place

Dixon Place Taking risks is crucial to the life of Dixon Place, its artists and audiences.
(302)

A Bessie and Obie Award-winning non-profit institution committed to supporting the creative process by presenting original works of theater, dance, music, puppetry, circus arts, literature & visual art at all stages of development. For our current COVID-19 protocol, go to http://dixonplace.org/coronavirus

Dixon Place is a non-profit organization founded in 1986 to provide a space for literary and

performing artists to create and develop new works in front of a live audience. While other venues of its kind have since died off, or now only present established artists, Dixon Place remains at the heart of the New York experimental performance scene. Dixon Place's primary commitments are to bring artists and audiences together through live performance in order to expand the understanding of the creative process and its final product, and to provide a supportive environment for emerging artists to present new work. Over the years, Dixon Place has successfully maintained its intimate atmosphere and unique environment while increasing its programming to fulfill the need for performance opportunities for the New York community of performing and literary artists.

Joe Fox returns to Dixon Place!

Join us on Thursday March 19 at 7:00 PM for Don’t Cry For Me - My Yeshiva, Joe’s personal story of love.

Think Nathan Lane (The Birdcage) meets Eva Gabor (Green Acres) and that’s sums up Joe Fox’s wild toad ride of a journey when he played it “straight” in the Lobster State of Maine – to make a documentary on a same-s*x marriage referendum battle that took place in that state.
Framed around our fight to marry the ones we love is the not so back story of an adopted son of an Orthodox Rabbi (that would be Joe) and his lifelong search for family, love, acceptance and that elusive rainbow connection.

Tickets are on sale for $25 at the link in our bio or on our website. Get yours now before they’re all gone!

Friday, March 20 at Dixon Place!

Greta Sofia: You Shall Not F**k Fascists is this Italian drag queen’s reimagining of the Ten Commandments through her q***r Catholic childhood. She recounts catechism traumas under her devout mother, retells Moses’ plagues as absurd spectacles, and elevates ‘90s pop divas like Britney and Madonna as new saints. The finale delivers an 11th commandment: Don’t F**k Fascists, framing s*x, consent, and pleasure as antifascist rebellion. This solo political comedy blends autobiography, satire, and performance to dismantle religious and authoritarian control with humor and radical joy.
