🗣️🎤You’re definitely not gonna want to miss our next open space salon hosted by actor, writer !! Monday October 9th!
If you haven’t come to any sessions yet, you have been missing out on some amazing original works, poetry, music, laughter and much more. Be there or be square!
Tomorrow we celebrate the life of Lorenzo Mans. Playwright, actor, translator, INTAR’s longtime literary manager, archivist, and tasked with the exceedingly difficult job of brokering communication between our founder Max and the artists. He was full of INTAR’s history, its artists, as well as most of the gossip of our theater. Never one to shy away from an opinion about EVERYTHING Lorenzo was possibly our toughest internal critic.
Feel free to join us tomorrow October 2nd at 7pm for some memories, reconnection, many laughs and of course tears.
We will forever continue to say goodbye to them through the retelling of our stories of them, their memories shall live on.
— Lou Moreno, Artistic Director.

We are saddened by the loss of our dear friend and lighting connoisseur Doug Filomena.
Artistic Director Lou Moreno shares “From Rattlestick Playwrights Theater to Twilight Theater Company to INTAR, the Lighting Syndicate powered by this man, Doug Filomena, and his business partner and friend, Jake Hendricks, were the unsung heroes of off Broadway.
From my small little view of the theater world at large, they were a talented and reliable crew of bad asses that kept us little guys rocking and rolling with excellent work, service, and fun.
In fact INTAR would not have a theater today were it not for Doug who single handedly, with skill, guts, and courage, turned our lights on.
Rest in Power brother.
Leave the lights on.”
Looking for a chance to perform and share some works in progress? The return of Monday night salons at INTAR are back! 6 evenings only.
Come share a monologue, or a song (orginal or even a cover), a scene from a play you are writing, a stand up routine, etc... Whatever it is, everything is welcome! And everyone is welcome.
Sign ups begin at 6:00pm with 5 minutes per participant. If you have a two person presentation, you are allowed 10 minutes together. Feel free to DM us any question and we hope to see you there!
Here’s a little more information for actors on what projects you may work on during the SAG strike!
INTAR stands in solidarity with the WGA/SAG strike. Please support the picket lines if you can and show AMPTP how serious we are about fair compensation and rights for all artist!
This we’re taking a look at 2011’s Drawn and Quartered by Maggie Bofill. 🤩

About the play
The Torres family of the Bronx are gathering at Juana's apartment to celebrate the christening of her grandson, Christopher. It's November 2002 and a year after 9/11, this hilarious, fun, close-knit Dominican family is navigating a new reality that challenges their sense of security-is America waging war in Iraq? When it's time to party, the Torres' still deliver - there's definitely too much food, adults harangue their kids a little, cousins gossip and argue - and yet the comforts of home fall short. Something is up.
This World Premiere of Julissa Contreras' new play features bilingual dialogue meticulously woven to show the beauty, humor, and uncertainty of a life in this time, place, and comunidad.
There is elevator access to the theatre on the 4th floor, however please be aware there are two small steps to enter the building...
Happy Opening to Guadlís Del Carmen and the cast and crew of BEES AND HONEY at . We are extremely proud to share 52nd street with another beautifully authentic Dominican production. Go see Bees and Honey playing now until June 11th! 🇩🇴
And you still have time to check out the world premiere of Vámonos until June 4th!! Tickets are available in intartheatre.org.

INTAR ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: We had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Melissa Navia (Bundle of Sticks 2020) about her time at INTAR and her career on stage and screen. Melissa Navia is a Colombian-American actor and writer. Born and raised in New York, she plays the banjo and is trained in martial arts. Navia will star as a series regular on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount+. Recent work includes roles on Billions (Showtime), New Amsterdam (NBC), and Homeland (Showtime), as well as recurring on AMC’s critically acclaimed Dietland. In March 2020, she made her Off-Broadway debut in the much-applauded Bundle of Sticks at INTAR Theatre. Navia is always looking for new ways to tell underrepresented stories that demand attention and challenge audience perceptions. She is the creator of the forthcoming one-woman show, Girl With Short Hair. @mcnavia
