Red Emma & The Mad Monk

In the first few months of 2017, 12 year-old Addison has a lot of questions about the world and very little parental supervision. Her best (imaginary) friend is a turn-of-the-19th-century Russian mystic, and her favorite pastime is fighting with deplorables on the internet. But when Addison starts to learn about another turn-of-the-century Russian -- the American immigrant and Anarchist, Emma Goldman -- she begins questioning the meaning of political action and just how far we should go to fight oppressive systems.

These #GirlsWhoLift and their handsome 'bonist will perform a highly dangerous, recently legal feat of boom and bang. Witness its premiere, right here in the Big Apple.

Don't Do This To Us!

In 2017, Rachel is worried that Jared Kushner is making the world more dangerous for Jews because his public image embodies the worst of ridiculous Jewish stereotypes: he's wealthy, avaricious, and ominously wields world power behind the scenes. She devises a plan to go back in time to 1999, hook up with teenager-Jared, and break his penis, preventing him from marrying Ivanka – thus saving the reputation of Jews around the world.

blank (2018)

Paint is a substance that takes its own form and journey once on the canvas. In blank, the canvas is the body of the artist, who gradually discovers that the paint will not erase the issues they wish to rid themselves from. Rather, it masks them; they must paint themselves so that everyone around does not see the blank — the emptiness inside, the vulnerability and pain. On the artist, you see not only the vibrancy, but also the chaos.

When We Went Electronic

Beneath everyone’s Ray-Bans lurks a dark secret. Brittany + Bethany, two hot n’ stupid American Apparel models attempt to retrace their vodka-seltzer-soaked steps of the prior evening. Through a series of provocative poses and electro-pop beats, the girls connect the dot-dot-dots and the memory they find is much more horrifying than an ellipses.
