All the deals in one place

This production of Romeo and Juliet sets Shakespeare's play in a border town of Verona, where the feud between the Montague and Capulet families is framed through ideological division and escalating street violence. The staging unfolds bilingually, with the play performed largely in English while Romeo and Juliet speak to one another exclusively in Spanish, a dramaturgical choice that draws on the border setting to deepen the lovers' separateness from the world around them. Spanish translations are by Alfredo Michel Modenessi, with choreography by Mayte Natalio.

The production is directed by Saheem Ali, Associate Artistic Director and Resident Director of The Public Theater, and marks the first time Romeo and Juliet has been staged in Central Park in nearly twenty years. Presented as part of The Public's annual Free Shakespeare in the Park programme, the production continues the series' tradition of large-scale outdoor Shakespeare accessible to all audiences.

Katsura Sunshine's 'Rakugo' features a lone storyteller dressed in kimono on a minimal set. He uses a fan and a hand towel for props to tell a comic monologue followed by a traditional story.

Rakugo is the 400-year-old Japanese traditional art of comic storytelling. Katsura Sunshine, who is originally from Canada, is the only Western Rakugo Master of the 800 Rakugo Masters. Sunshine's show bridges the gap between the East and the West.

The show was nominated for an Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Unique Theatrical Experience. Sunshine was also the bilingual MC for the opening reception of the G20 Summit in Osaka.

Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle.

The score by Stephen Schwartz ('Godspell,' 'Pippin,' 'The Prince of Egypt') includes the songs 'Defying Gravity,' 'Popular,' and 'The Wizard and I.'

'Wicked' opened in 2003 and in 2019 became the fifth-longest-running show in Broadway history.

I'm Almost There is a musical journey that recontextualizes the epic poem The Odyssey into the framework of modern dating. The narrative begins with the relative simplicity of experiencing love at first sight, contrasting it with the difficulty of allowing a relationship to progress past the initial stages. In this contemporary retelling, the classic monsters are substituted with obstacles like intrusive neighbors, and the path to connection involves self-deprecation, genuine longing, and distinctive humor.

This critically acclaimed piece is created and performed by Todd Almond (known for Girl from the North Country and Gossip Girl). The production comes to BAM following a run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The director is Tony Award winner David Cromer (whose directorial credits include The Band’s Visit, Our Town, and Good Night, and and Good Luck).

Almond brings his personal journey to the stage through original songs that express his anxieties, hopes, and humorous mistakes. He is accompanied onstage by musicians Erin Hill (on harp and vocals) and Luke McCrosson (on bass), collectively telling a story about the complexities of fear and the pursuit of love.

When a lost young man takes shelter inside their church, two altar boys cling tightly to one another as the foundations of their lives begin to shift.

The play is written by Bubba Weiler and directed by Jack Serio, following their recent collaboration on Well, I’ll Let You Go.

Initially detached, she becomes increasingly involved through her friendship with Jesse, a local classmate connected to the movement. As tensions escalate, Millie is confronted with the realities of political unrest and her own position within it. The story traces her changing perspective as personal relationships intersect with wider social conflict, examining questions of responsibility, awareness, and belonging in a rapidly changing environment.

Set in 1914, this immersive play takes place during a private séance hosted by the eccentric Madame Montfort. The gathering is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious guest, prompting those in attendance to confront their beliefs about love, the supernatural, and the unknown. Among the participants are a skeptical magician, a paranormal researcher, and a practitioner of blood rituals, each bringing conflicting perspectives to the unfolding events.

Presented in spit&vigor’s “embedded” immersive style, the production places audience members within the séance itself, seated among the performers as observers to the escalating tensions and revelations.

The Drunk Shakespeare Society also performs Drunk Romeo & Juliet seasonally.

An unexpected connection and proximity to a nearby music festival draw her further into a shifting landscape of personal and societal transformation.

Spanning 18 years from 2006 to 2024, this three-act play chronicles the evolving relationships among six young friends who initially reunite after a Birthright trip to Israel.

Written by Tony Award winner Jonathan Spector and directed by Teddy Bergman, the production examines the internal dynamics of modern friendship and chosen family. The narrative focuses on the characters' struggles to maintain personal connections as they confront conflicting histories, generational shifts, and the emotional challenges of navigating deep ideological differences.
