Theatre for One: HERE IS FUTURE

HERE IS FUTURE
Theatre for One returns NYC for in-person performances at Manhattan West Plaza with HERE IS FUTURE, a series of new micro-plays commissioned by Arts Brookfield and produced by Octopus Theatricals. What do we bring forward? What do we build anew? The future doesn’t come from nowhere. It gets made now, here, with you—one actor, one audience member at a time.
What do we bring forward? At the onset of the COVID-19 shutdown our computers became our prosceniums and Arts Brookfield commissioned Theatre for One’s first online presentation. Here We Are, amplified the voices of 8 writers grappling with our heightened disconnection and national reckoning with their original micro-plays performed live to an audience of one at a time. Now, one year later, we look to playwrights to frame our future as we re-engage face to face, person to person, present to make future.
What do we build anew? For Theatre for One, that means access in every sense. Performances are free and open to the public. The new booth makes Theatre for One, a Theatre for all, (one person at a time). It is ADA accessible and features a new, advanced air circulation system. Performances will include adaptations for visually and hearing impaired audience members.
