The plays with the most votes come back with a brand new episode of the same storyline the following week of SERIALS. Teams with the least votes come back with a pilot episode of a brand new storyline.

Every SERIALS weekend is a mix of audience favorite storylines and something totally new.

Our Artists
 

Indie Theater is all about community and we are so proud of our exciting collaborators... Check them out and come see them in action at our next weekend of shows!

Indie Theater in NYC is a community

The NYC indie theater community produces hundreds of brand new plays annually across dozens and dozens of companies. We believe in that work—bold, risky, non-commercial and full of imagination and soul.

SERIALS is an important part of that project, serving as a hub for this community of artists. So much of indie theater starts right here, so please consider investing in our art making, our community, and the future of indie theater.

Support a New Way to make New Plays!

And get lots of benefits along the way...

Check out our Patreon

Artistic Partners come in all shapes and sizes and at Serials we count our audience as some of our most important collaborators!

Get in Touch
 

Maybe you are looking for a new place to flex your talents. Maybe you want to have a good time being re-inspired by live creativity and storytelling. Or maybe you're just in the market for a guaranteed laugh and a beer with friends. Reach out to us and we'll set you up!
