“IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW THE SPARK DOESN’T DIE, COME TO THIS PLAY.” – DANIEL CARLTON, DIRECTOR (SPONSORED)

The Negro Ensemble Co., Inc present

The House of the Negro Insane

By Terence Anthony
Directed by Daniel Carlton
With Benjamin Rowe, Rob Penty, Wadiah Waliah, and Sidney Hatcher

The year is 1935. For years, Attius has lived behind the imposing walls of Central State Hospital – one of only seven US psychiatric institutions built to house “insane and idiotic negroes” – where the homeless and destitute are confined alongside the diseased and the criminally insane.

Attius has carved out a meager existence within the hospital building coffins, quietly crafting the final boxes for those who will never see freedom again. But everything changes when two new patients arrive, and Attius is forced to confront a possibility he buried long ago – a chance at life beyond the walls.

Content transparency: Recommended ages 16+. This show contains haze as well as strong language, racial slurs, and violence.

THREE COWORKERS VS. ONE TOURIST TRAP – THE VESSEL (SPONSORED)

Through The Tollbooth Co. presents

The Vessel

By Brendan George
Directed by Peter Charney

With Will Ingram, Anastasia Locke, and Sofonyas

In the center of Hudson Yards, New York City, stands a honeycomb-like structure known simply as the Vessel. After its unveiling in 2019, this 150-foot interactive art installation was repeatedly shut down, becoming an unexpected and controversial viral obsession.

Inspired by these true events, three minimum wage parks employees find themselves at the center of attention in The Vessel. The unlikely trio works together in hilarious and surprising ways as they navigate through and beyond the structure that looms over their every move.

Three coworkers against one tourist trap – a new play based on an infamous NYC landmark from the Drama Desk Award-nominated creators of A Eulogy for Roman.

Valid for all performances, code expires August 16

Performances: July 30 – August 23; Tues-Sat 7:30; Sat & Sun 2:30
