Being a part of SERIALS is like having a theatrical gym membership. You show up, get to work, and build up your muscles the more you do it.

The skills artists come out of SERIALS with are hard to train, and finding opportunities to build these skills is even harder. That’s why we try to give our artists as many opportunities to flex their muscles as we can.

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.

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...

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