Miriam Wasmund’s "Your Faithful Reader" is a slice-of-life tapestry that highlights the uniqueness of personal stories and the universality of human experience. The performances explore themes of identity, family, love, loss, and a full spectrum of emotion. Miriam, an Alvin Ailey-trained dancer, choreographer, writer, and producer, living and creating in NYC since 2001. In 2019, she founded Your Faithful Reader, an experiential dance theatre company that merges the worlds of acting and dance with real letters submitted by the community, transforming them into a powerful one- or two-act journey through the human experience. The concept emerged from Miriam’s personal journey with grief and self-discovery after losing her brother and mother. Missing the exchange of letters with her family, she began writing and invited others to do the same. The overwhelming response led to the creation of "Your Faithful Reader", demonstrating the power of shared experiences through the innovative integration of dance, theatre and authentic personal narratives. The company solicits letters from everyday individuals—addressed to anyone or anything—based on prompts. These letters, ranging from romantic and funny to brutally honest, form the core of each performance. A team of actors, dancers, and creatives then brings them to life, creating immersive and emotionally resonant experiences that foster connection and celebrates storytelling. For the Frigid NYC Days of the Dead Festival, we’d plan to use new and archived letters inspired by the depth of understanding of loss, the celebration of life in both small and communal ways, and the ways we - who are still earth side - go on as champions of our ancestors and passed loved ones. Performances on: October 19th at 2pm and October October 25th at 3:30pm

Spooky Town is a dark comedy about a town haunted not by ghosts, but by laughter. When laughter rates suddenly skyrocket in a small, eerie town, X and Z think little of it—until people start dying. Not from fear or violence, but from laughing too hard. As mysterious blood puddles appear, power flickers, and odd new student Y becomes increasingly unsettling, the friends find themselves at the heart of something deeply wrong. They uncover that laughter is no longer harmless—it’s deadly. But the more they try to resist it, the more contagious it becomes. Spooky Town blends comedy and horror through a surreal, often absurd lens. Part paranormal mystery, part existential panic, the play explores how we cope when the line between joy and destruction disappears. With sharp dialogue, queer romance, and escalating tension, it’s a love story about fear and a theatrical ghost story without any ghosts. Just try not to laugh.

His peace is shattered by the haunting realization of Rebecca’s decades-long scheme to unravel his existence. As Francis steps into the hospital’s dimly lit corridors, he encounters not just the twisted remnants of his former friend, but a malevolent entity—a centuries-old demon, its eyes gleaming with a promise of eternal torment. Desperate to save his life and soul from this dark force, Francis must confront the demon that now inhabits Rebecca, questioning his own sanity as he whispers, “What would Buffy do?”

BURIED ALIVE! a matchbox theatre, is a frightfully funny exploration of our age-old fear of being buried alive, and the curious phenomenon of 19th Century “waiting mortuaries.” Tiny and interactive, it is full of dreadful discoveries for a mature audience of 25-30. BURIED ALIVE! is based on historical and medical facts and urban myths. Performed on a tabletop, and constructed entirely in and of matchboxes, it takes advantage of the unique qualities of these tiny stages. Images and characters slide out, slide through, pop up, and drop out of the matchboxes. The puppeteer embodies the tiny characters to magnify the action. BURIED ALIVE! is creatively anachronistic and plays with scale. For ages 12 and up. “...depicted with comic deadpan perversity...a wink and raised eyebrow of an entertainment.” -- womanaroundtown.com Performances on Oct 20th at 8:45pm and Oct 26th at 5:30pm

One part The Crucible, one part Monty Python. When it comes to the witch hunts, this 60-minute fast-paced comedy asks the very important question: “If we really were witches, wouldn’t we just cast a spell to get away?” What if real witches dropped in on the witch hunts? “Witches” follows the troubles of Obediently Snead, a townswoman in the 1600s who is just trying to stay alive. The head witch hunter, John Thomas, has different ideas. Fortunately, the ghost of Obediently’s ancestor is looking out for her and summons the real witches to the rescue. Antics ensue.

In one hour of drag, clown, and desperation, Señor Babyhead presents his Día de Muertos Especial. It’s a journey across the Sonoran Desert in which Babyhead encounters artifacts, mirages, and spirits. Who is Señor Babyhead? Only Mexico’s most (washed up) famous sitcom star, desperate to stay relevant and avoid becoming an artifact, himself. It’s an hour of crooning, crawling, and implicating the audience in a dangerous game. Analisa Raya-Flores is a writer, performer, and papier-mâché artist. Her fiction can be found in Glimmer Train and MonkeyBicycle, and her face can be seen in My Beloved (Eleanor Monahan), Interesting Ball (DANIELS), and live venues all over LA and NYC. Her plays have been produced at the Annenberg Beach House and the Elysian Theater. In 2023, her screenplay Farewell Chica was a semifinalist at the Austin Film Festival Competition. As a queer Chicana, she creates work that celebrates and interrogates the Mexican-American experience, from the grief of diaspora and to the awkward hassle of Otherness. Analisa is autistic, which gives her a perspective neurotypicals often call “unique”— which she decodes to mean “unintentionally weird.” She lives, worries, and walks her dogs at the foot of the Sierras.

Santiago is your average guy going through a mid-20s crisis. He’s massively overworked, massively underpaid, and nursing a massive crush on his supposedly straight roommate (who just so happens to also be his childhood best friend and first boyfriend from before Santiago transitioned). Santiago also talks to dead people. Following a near death experience in his teens, Santiago works as a Record Keeper documenting memories of the recently deceased so they can pass on to the afterlife. However, his frequent communions with the dead strain his ability to connect with the living, especially his roommate Isaiah. “What Remains” is a 90 minute dramedy that investigates how the lives we think we should lead have the power to ruin the ones we actually have. Content warnings: allusions to suicide, death, allusions to homophobia.

CLOSER focuses on the intimate relationship between two sisters who find themselves trapped in a painting. By day, they sit peacefully around a pond, minds seemingly full of meaningless pleasantries.

As their deadline approaches, the sisters find themselves at odds, debating between morality and immortality. This thrilling horror challenges how deep a sister's bond goes and asks what people won't sacrifice to be young forever.

Madrugada En Manhattan (Manhattan's Midnights): In the heart of Loisaida (Lower East Side), Toro, a Nuyorican musician, is haunted by the spirit of Luna. But she's more than a spirit, she is a memory; she's a messenger of forgotten love, a cosmic destiny, a love from a past life. Toro must awaken to who he truly is- BORICUA. If he fails, humanity never know true love and the stars will vanish from the night sky. Blending Puerto Rican folklore, Latino rhythms, and poetic magical realism, Madrugada en Manhattan (Manhattan's Midnights) is more than a love story, it is an epic bilingual drama, a revolution, and a tribute to culture’s power to outshine even the darkest night. Written and Directed by, international artistic diplomat, Reyna de Jesús Music arranged and produced by, Grammy nominee, Adan Perez Madrugada en Manhattan (Manhattan's Midnights): En el corazón de Loisaida, Toro, un músico neoyorquino, se encuentra con el espíritu de Luna.

Si no, la humanidad jamás conocerá el amor verdadero y las estrellas desaparecerán del cielo nocturno. Combinando el folclor puertorriqueño, los ritmos latinos y el realismo mágico poético, Madrugada en Manhattan (Manhattan's Midnights) es más que una historia de amor: es un drama bilingüe épico, una revolución y un homenaje al poder de la cultura para brillar en la inmensa oscuridad.
