Site Specific Production
Any/Various Borough location, New York City, NY 10016
This is a site-specific performance. All performances take place at 321 Broadway, Brooklyn NY 11211.
The capacity of the space is 40 audience members per performance.

The production contains two 25-minute episodes—each about the length of a wash cycle.


Led by scenic and costume designer Louisa Thompson, “Washeteria” takes place not at Soho Rep’s longtime headquarters on Walker Street, but at a once-vacant storefront in South Williamsburg that has been transformed into a fantastical laundromat under her direction—with machines, detergent and piles of laundry in plain sight, and magical and musical surprises embedded beyond view. Ms. Thompson thinks of the storefront laundromat as one of the most inclusive civic spaces in New York. “I’ve had this fascination with laundromats for a very, very long time,” she said, “as a place of transformation, where things go from dirty to clean, people’s lives collide and machines are juxtaposed with humans.”

The piece is being made in consort with 3rd graders at the local Williamsburg elementary Brooklyn Arbor School. These students have been attending rehearsals and helping to shape the show through on-site exposure to the rehearsal process, as well as via activities in class.
