Support us and support our community!As with most arts organizations across the nation, these last three fiscal years have been rough for FRIGID. As hard as it was to be thrown into the shutdown, coming out has proved more challenging still.Operating this year has again left us with a deficit as did the last couple of fiscal years, for obvious reasons. This will put us at a third consecutive year of deficits and, while the reason is clear and understandable, it still puts us in danger of losing some funding in the next cycle. We need your help to make that not happen.Please help us by pre-purchasing tickets this fall to be given to underserved populations here in NYC through GOLES (Good Old Lower East Side), who hekp to enrich the lives of our neighbors who have less.As with most of our tickets these days, the ticket price here is $25 with a sliding scale. That means for each purchase, regardless of the dollar amount you pay on our sliding scale, we will donate one ticket to one of our future shows, regardless of the face value ticket price. These tickets will only be considered spent when they are actually used, so if we give an organization 20 tickets and only 4 people show up then only 4 tickets from this pot will have been used and the rest will still be available for donation.

Hamlet couldn't possibly get more dramatic… or could it? Hamlet couldn't possibly be funny...or could it? Are Shakespeare and Telenovelas a match made in heaven? With Hamlet: La Telenovela audiences will be able to experience Hamlet like never before, with an adaptation that heightens the melodrama innate in the story and explores it under a farcical and comedic lens. We invite the public to open their arms to the extremely cathartic guilty pleasure that only Telenovelas (soap operas) can give. In Spanish with English subtitles. Please note that we cannot guarantee that the subtitles will be legible in the livestream presentation.

We're back for a seventh season of new works in development! Paper Kraine was created in 2016 to bring together works in their earliest stages, audiences, and nonprofits. Monthly, the PK team curates a new works sampler platter around a theme related to a nonprofit. This season is dedicated with unending gratitude towards the team of FRIGID NY. We all know artists making great work: all they need is a space, and FRIGID's dedication to making that accessible for artists is a vital part of the New York arts ecosystem. Try something new, delicious and strange. Come for the art. Stay for the community. Paper Kraine was created on the principle that we all know writers, directors, actors, and creators who make wonderful work. All they need is a space. Paper Kraine is committed to creating a venue for early-career artists to show humor-focused work in the spirit of adventurous discovery. We encourage risk-taking, question-asking, and the development of a supportive community of artists seeing, encouraging, and challenging each other’s work with the ultimate goal of enriching the artistic community through cross-pollination and meeting new people. Streaming option available.

Support us and support our community!As with most arts organizations across the nation, these last three fiscal years have been rough for FRIGID. As hard as it was to be thrown into the shutdown, coming out has proved more challenging still.Operating this year has again left us with a deficit as did the last couple of fiscal years, for obvious reasons. This will put us at a third consecutive year of deficits and, while the reason is clear and understandable, it still puts us in danger of losing some funding in the next cycle. We need your help to make that not happen.Please help us by pre-purchasing tickets this fall to be given to underserved populations here in NYC through GOLES (Good Old Lower East Side), who hekp to enrich the lives of our neighbors who have less.As with most of our tickets these days, the ticket price here is $25 with a sliding scale. That means for each purchase, regardless of the dollar amount you pay on our sliding scale, we will donate one ticket to one of our future shows, regardless of the face value ticket price. These tickets will only be considered spent when they are actually used, so if we give an organization 20 tickets and only 4 people show up then only 4 tickets from this pot will have been used and the rest will still be available for donation.
