Fall River Fishing is a riotous and kaleidoscopic tour through the story of Lizzie Borden, who “took an axe” and was acquitted of the hatchet murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892. Zuzanna Szadkowski & Deborah Knox’s darkly absurd comedy about what happened that day Lizzie did or didn’t murder her parents is a story about broken Hollywood dreams, unrequited love, self-loathing, generosity, vanity and the mean things that stepmoms say. The play’s irreverent, anarchic humor ultimately grows to encompass Ibsen’s A Doll's House, contemporary Brooklyn, Sharon Tate and the impossibility of ever truly knowing the people we’re closest to, in a contemporary meditation on/war against a disappointing life.

Accessibility

  • Wheelchair Info

    Although the building is unfortunately not ADA-compliant (it was built in the mid-1800s), the theater is on ground level and we have a secondary entrance that is wheelchair accessible (no steps). Look for the easternmost door of the building, with the small sign that says “Theater” over it. This door is usually locked, so you will need to request access from the front of house staff.
  • Elevator/Escalator

    None available
  • Parking

    Edison ParkFast at 167 Essex St. btw Stanton and Houston (about a 6 minute walk)
  • Entrance

    The building is unfortunately not ADA-compliant (it was built in 1874) Building entrance is located on the ground floor. The theater is on the same level as the building entrance.
  • Box Office

    The Connelly Theater does not have a full-time box office on site. You can purchase tickets to all shows online 24 hours a day until shortly before each performance. Walk-up tickets may be purchased, pending availability, at showtime.
  • Restroom

    Restrooms are accessible without stairs, however there are no wide stalls. If you use a mobility device that requires a wider stall, we have made arrangements with The Cabin NYC, a bar across the street (205 E. 4th St.), for our patrons with accessibility needs to use their bathroom. There are no steps to navigate from the sidewalk to the bathroom at the Cabin.
