Ever wonder what the sources are for any number of The Magnetic Theatre’s world premieres (and, for that matter, contemporary plays worldwide)?
Wish for a chance to have a visceral experience of rarely produced but highly influential works of the American stage?
Join us at The Magnetic Theatre for this first series in The Off-Off Broadway Project, celebrating the original Off-Off Broadway theatre, the Caffe Cino.
– June 24: “The Bed” by Robert Heide and “I Love You, Goodnight” by William M. Hoffman.
– July 22: “The Moon” by Robert Heide and “I Like It” by Michael Smith.
– August 26: “Icarus’s Mother” by Sam Shepard and “Medea of the Laundromat or The Stars May Understand” by H.M. Koutoukas.
“Like our ‘Masters Series,’” Artistic Director Steven Samuels says, “The Off-Off Broadway Project is designed to give our audiences and artists a deeper appreciation of the work we do on original plays. Everything comes from somewhere, and we should all explore our roots. And what a treat this will be! Magnetic actors and directors coming to grips with some of the most challenging and delightful material in the repertoire!”
Admission free and no reservations are required.

The series is curated by Magnetic Artistic Associate Katie Jones.
