Five plays go in but only three come out... It's democracy in action!

How it works
 

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. 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.
