The FRIGID Festival is an open and uncensored theatre festival that gives artists an opportunity to let their ingenuity thrive in a venue that values freedom of expression and artistic determination. In true support of the Indie Theater Community, 100% of box office proceeds go directly to the artists whose work is being presented. FRIGID is here to chill out the New York independent theatre scene’s ideas of what a theatre festival can be!
A Sample of Festival Shows include:
A Play for Voices
Presented by Dragonfire Makers Collective - Brooklyn, NY
Written by Melody Bates, Co-Directed by David Bennett & Gulshan Mia
A Play for Voices takes place in the dark, with sparks. This collaboration between writer-performer Melody Bates (R & J & Z), Julia Cavagna (Theater to the People),
Fumio Tashiro, and Miho Morita is part sound immersion, part sensory deprivation tank, part Beckettian experiment. A non-linear lament, with
jokes and magic. And cake.
