Five teams perform five original, ten-minute episodic plays with only six hours of rehearsal time. Then YOU, the audience, vote for your three favorites.

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.
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!
