The NY Neo-Futurists bring their signature storytelling chaos to the Gotham Storytelling Festival with The Infinite Wrench! Two weekends only, we’re taking our weekly late-night experiment and blowing it wide open. The Infinite Wrench is our theatrical mechanism for unleashing a rapid-fire barrage of two-minute plays. Each play offers something different—funny, profound, elegant, disgusting, topical, irrelevant, terrifying, or even a song. Together, they create a kaleidoscope of stories that all tackle the here-and-now, drawn directly from the lived experiences of the performers. In just sixty minutes, the ensemble races to share thirty original plays, colliding comedy with honesty, playfulness with sincerity, and spectacle with truth. It’s the NY Neos ongoing and ever-changing attempt to shift the conventions of live performance, now part of New York’s biggest celebration of live storytelling.

It all didn't turn out as planned… Gram Parsons: Tim HasslerPhil Kaufman: Harmon LeonMusic: Max Newland Written/Directed: Harmon Leon (This American Life)

Remember how you felt reading Edger Allen Poe’s classic short story The Telltale Heart? Now, playwright Omen Kaine channels Poe, re-imagining the story for our times, and setting it in Boston during the Pandemic. In this edgy adaptation, neighbors of a beloved old-school musician hear screams. Detectives come across a gruesome scene. Domestic Violence at its worst. But it’s not a married couple, rather a young man taking care of the older one. The caregiver admits to killing the musician and is in custody. Yet something seems off... Omen Kaine’s new play, the second in a trilogy, is accompanied by an album of original music from the Los Angeles Art district based band, the Clandestine Circle Quintet. Experimenting with Hip Hop, Rock and Jazz, the music is interwoven into the storyline, building tension and suspense.. The production opens in the fall of 2025, with an October run in Los Angeles, followed by a November run in New York, and then moves overseas to Belgium. It is the second installation of Kaine’s Through the Altered Lens Trilogy. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience this bold new story in its first full dramatic productions.

The name of the show is Something to Say. Is that because I just have something to say? Lots of people, maybe everyone has something to say. So why in the world would anyone have any interest in one more asshole with one more something to say, when it should be pretty obvious that with all the somethings to say being said, not much of it is making any damn difference. Blah blah yada yada blah blah blah. Well, maybe that’s not so obvious. And maybe that’s what we’re after here. To see what might get said that actually moves the meter, not just the episodic circumstantial meter of what’s right in front of us, but the meter that tracks the beat beat beat of the heart that pumps in the belly of the beast. That’s the something to say that this Something to Say is here for. Yeah I know, good fucking luck. And you’re welcome. Watch the promo video

("Phantasmic!" NY TIMES, ) This year's festival includes such terrifying classics as THE TELLTALE HEART; BERENICE; THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO; THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH; THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER; THE CASE OF M.VALDEMAR. Schedule of tales TBA. INFO: www.radiotheatrenyc.com RADIOTHEATRE'S 15th ANNUAL EDGAR ALLAN POE FESTIVAL is produced by Radiotheatre and Frigid NY and starring FRANK ZILINYI and ALEJANDRO CARDOZO with DAN BIANCHI (Writer/Director/Art, Music, Sound Designer) and WES SHIPPEE (Technical Director). It comes complete with a great cast, original orchestral music, and a plethora of sound FX! Just bring your imagination! With over 90 NYC productions, RADIOTHEATRE has garnered a DRAMA DESK AWARD nomination, winning 6 NY Innovative Theater awards, 15 more noms, 5 yrs Best Performance Art and 6 Rondo Hatton Horror Awards noms, and 21 Broadway World nominations. In 2014, RT's Artistic Director Dan Bianchi received the NYIT award for Lifetime Artistic Excellence. RADIOTHEATRE does NOT produce authentic re-creations of old-time radio shows …rather, they are inspired by the artistry created during the Golden Years of Radio when SOUND was king and STORYTELLING, along with great voices, music, and sound effects, as well as the imaginations of its audiences. As for content, RADIOTHEATRE draws its inspiration from genres such as Adventure, Horror, Science Fiction, and Crime, which have been thoroughly exploited by Literature, Cinema, and TV, even Radio…but generally ignored by the Theatre world. Combining their unique presentation with non-traditional content makes RADIOTHEATRE a singular theatre company creating modern, innovative, and interactive stage works.

On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations wraps big ideas in focused stories about Vermillion’s pets, offering glimpses of her human family and life in her place of birth, Transylvania, Romania. With her dark humor and heart, Vermillion takes audiences from her childhood under communist rule, to her present quirky experiences in East Harlem, using her dog and cat as reference points. The cast will feature Vermillion and her companion dog, Pandele, who said she's in it not for fame, but to pay her vet bills. Rosamunda, her cat, was asked to perform but declined. She’d rather lounge under the sofa than be in the limelight. “Being from Transylvania, is expected of me to be creepy, so I oblige, from time to time, albeit not in Hollywood style,” said Vermillion, lead performer and director of On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations. “The war in Ukraine riled my memories up, and urged me to point out how much there is to lose.” The performance will run approximately one hour. Each show is a different iteration. Vermillion is an independent performer and writer who has been active in the New York City cultural community since 2001. Her work has been presented at the Immigrant Theater Festival, Galapagos Art Space, Manhattan Theater Source, IWAS,The Field, Theater for the New City, The Moth, Stage Left, Bowery Poetry Club, Chashama, and her present incubator, Fountain House Gallery. For several years she focused on her visual art, but in 2022, serendipity made her act in Stories From My Mother at the Theater for the New City, and thus reminded her how lovely it is to be in front of a live audience. Her current solo storytelling show, On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations, was shaped during her 2023 Fountain House Gallery summer residency on Governors Island and in Adam Wade’s Magnet Theater Solo Workshop, and premiered successfully at the 2024 NYC Fringe Festival.

Remember how you felt reading Edger Allen Poe’s classic short story The Telltale Heart? Now, playwright Omen Kaine channels Poe, re-imagining the story for our times, and setting it in Boston during the Pandemic. In this edgy adaptation, neighbors of a beloved old-school musician hear screams. Detectives come across a gruesome scene. Domestic Violence at its worst. But it’s not a married couple, rather a young man taking care of the older one. The caregiver admits to killing the musician and is in custody. Yet something seems off... Omen Kaine’s new play, the second in a trilogy, is accompanied by an album of original music from the Los Angeles Art district based band, the Clandestine Circle Quintet. Experimenting with Hip Hop, Rock and Jazz, the music is interwoven into the storyline, building tension and suspense.. The production opens in the fall of 2025, with an October run in Los Angeles, followed by a November run in New York, and then moves overseas to Belgium. It is the second installation of Kaine’s Through the Altered Lens Trilogy. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience this bold new story in its first full dramatic productions.

The name of the show is Something to Say. Is that because I just have something to say? Lots of people, maybe everyone has something to say. So why in the world would anyone have any interest in one more asshole with one more something to say, when it should be pretty obvious that with all the somethings to say being said, not much of it is making any damn difference. Blah blah yada yada blah blah blah. Well, maybe that’s not so obvious. And maybe that’s what we’re after here. To see what might get said that actually moves the meter, not just the episodic circumstantial meter of what’s right in front of us, but the meter that tracks the beat beat beat of the heart that pumps in the belly of the beast. That’s the something to say that this Something to Say is here for. Yeah I know, good fucking luck. And you’re welcome. Watch the promo video

("Phantasmic!" NY TIMES, ) This year's festival includes such terrifying classics as THE TELLTALE HEART; BERENICE; THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO; THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH; THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER; THE CASE OF M.VALDEMAR. Schedule of tales TBA. INFO: www.radiotheatrenyc.com RADIOTHEATRE'S 15th ANNUAL EDGAR ALLAN POE FESTIVAL is produced by Radiotheatre and Frigid NY and starring FRANK ZILINYI and ALEJANDRO CARDOZO with DAN BIANCHI (Writer/Director/Art, Music, Sound Designer) and WES SHIPPEE (Technical Director). It comes complete with a great cast, original orchestral music, and a plethora of sound FX! Just bring your imagination! With over 90 NYC productions, RADIOTHEATRE has garnered a DRAMA DESK AWARD nomination, winning 6 NY Innovative Theater awards, 15 more noms, 5 yrs Best Performance Art and 6 Rondo Hatton Horror Awards noms, and 21 Broadway World nominations. In 2014, RT's Artistic Director Dan Bianchi received the NYIT award for Lifetime Artistic Excellence. RADIOTHEATRE does NOT produce authentic re-creations of old-time radio shows …rather, they are inspired by the artistry created during the Golden Years of Radio when SOUND was king and STORYTELLING, along with great voices, music, and sound effects, as well as the imaginations of its audiences. As for content, RADIOTHEATRE draws its inspiration from genres such as Adventure, Horror, Science Fiction, and Crime, which have been thoroughly exploited by Literature, Cinema, and TV, even Radio…but generally ignored by the Theatre world. Combining their unique presentation with non-traditional content makes RADIOTHEATRE a singular theatre company creating modern, innovative, and interactive stage works.

Hadid follows Helena Hadid, a struggling writer who works a minimum wage job at a cultural center and also happens to be the sister of Bella and Gigi Hadid (and, not unimportantly, the daughter of former Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, Yolanda Hadid). In the aftermath of Bella and Gigi falling down a large flight of stairs at a gala, the family must band together and show the world the strength of the Hadid clan.

On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations wraps big ideas in focused stories about Vermillion’s pets, offering glimpses of her human family and life in her place of birth, Transylvania, Romania. With her dark humor and heart, Vermillion takes audiences from her childhood under communist rule, to her present quirky experiences in East Harlem, using her dog and cat as reference points. The cast will feature Vermillion and her companion dog, Pandele, who said she's in it not for fame, but to pay her vet bills. Rosamunda, her cat, was asked to perform but declined. She’d rather lounge under the sofa than be in the limelight. “Being from Transylvania, is expected of me to be creepy, so I oblige, from time to time, albeit not in Hollywood style,” said Vermillion, lead performer and director of On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations. “The war in Ukraine riled my memories up, and urged me to point out how much there is to lose.” The performance will run approximately one hour. Each show is a different iteration. Vermillion is an independent performer and writer who has been active in the New York City cultural community since 2001. Her work has been presented at the Immigrant Theater Festival, Galapagos Art Space, Manhattan Theater Source, IWAS,The Field, Theater for the New City, The Moth, Stage Left, Bowery Poetry Club, Chashama, and her present incubator, Fountain House Gallery. For several years she focused on her visual art, but in 2022, serendipity made her act in Stories From My Mother at the Theater for the New City, and thus reminded her how lovely it is to be in front of a live audience. Her current solo storytelling show, On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations, was shaped during her 2023 Fountain House Gallery summer residency on Governors Island and in Adam Wade’s Magnet Theater Solo Workshop, and premiered successfully at the 2024 NYC Fringe Festival.
