Theater in Quarantine (Livestream)

First live in-person performance by the creators of Theater in Quarantine, making digital magic and a tiny closet into an expansive stage.

This event will take place online.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Theater in Quarantine (TiQ) has developed and live-streamed dozens of visually distinctive, original performances from an eight-square-foot closet in the East Village. Hailed as one of the most consistent and imaginative makers of digital performance, this Drama League Award-winning company has worked with over 100 remote collaborators, been profiled on NPR and in The New York Times, and has reached audiences around the globe. Now, for the first time in its history, Theater in Quarantine will perform live for an in-person audience, bringing the closet to the stage at the Library for the Performing Arts. Get a behind-the-scenes view of how TiQ makes digital magic, as co-creative directors Joshua William Gelb and Katie Rose McLaughlin perform old favorites as well as a world premiere.

Click here to stream on May 19 at 6 pm.

“Virtuosic... The closet has produced some of the new medium’s most imaginative work.” — Jess Green, The New York Times

“Makes confinement a virtue, a prompt to the imagination.” — Helen Shaw, New York Magazine
