Under the Radar marks its 20th anniversary as America’s premier festival of experimental performance with a major future-shaping expansion: two New York theater visionaries join festival Founder and Artistic Director Mark Russell as Co-Creative Directors, further growing and pluralizing Under the Radar’s view of the local and global landscapes of innovative performance. Artistic producer, former Soho Rep Director and Radical Evolution Co-Founder Meropi Peponides and theater artist Kaneza Schaal will, on a two-year cycle, apply their passion and advocacy for performance to ensure UTR reaches new audiences, engages new artists and continues to thrive into its next 20 years.
