About the show

Abrons Art Center presents the world premiere of this puppet ghost story from puppet maestro Basil Twist and downtown icons Joey Arias and Julie Atlas Muz. More…

Commissioned for the 100th Anniversary of the Abrons’ Playhouse, 'Sisters’ Follies: Between Two Worlds' is a spooktacular musical extravaganza direct from the unlimited imagination of MacArthur Genius grantee Basil Twist, starring the legendary Downtown icons Joey Arias and Julie Atlas Muz. Celebrating the Playhouse’s founders Alice and Irene Lewisohn, and their legacy of producing avant-garde performances and dance from 1915-28, the spectral sisters return to haunt the theater 100 years later. It's the ultimate October ghost story.

"The follies of this imaginative but muddled pageant, alas, are more numerous...The Abrons deserves to be celebrated, and Twist has devoted significant imagination toward doing so. With all the magic in evidence here, couldn’t someone have conjured up a script?"

"There's nothing wrong with Abrons Art Center paying tribute to its own longevity, but surely there was a better way than this.
