In Waiting Room Z, Shakespeare’s most often forgotten characters find themselves antsy, excited, and lost. It is here that the all-knowing Stage Manager sends them out into the world. However, it’s been years since these characters have been in the spotlight, and they’re beginning to grow impatient. Hamlet Isn't Dead's When My Cue Comes follows four of these “left-behind” characters in the canon and their desperate attempts to do whatever it takes to take their place on stage once again.

Ever wondered what would happen if the exiled ladies and fools of As You Like It never reconnected with the Duke and his lords? In fact, what if the male love interests of the play vanished altogether? Fools in the Forest reframes the sparkling comedy and wry commentary of Shakespeare’s text to focus more intimately on the most witty, unconventional, and fascinating figures of Arden: Rosalind, Celia, Touchstone, Jaques, and Phebe. In a tight one-hour romp performed by an ensemble of five, this reimagined story becomes a tale of finding community, opening yourself up to new connections and new adventures, and – as always – hanging a great deal of letters on trees.

On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations wraps big ideas in focused stories about Ella’s pets, offering glimpses of her human family and life in her place of birth, Transylvania, Romania. With her dark humor and heart, Ella takes audiences from her childhood under communist rule, to her present quirky experiences in East Harlem, using her dog and cat as reference points. The cast will feature Ella Veres and her companion dog, Pandele, who said she's in it not for fame, but to pay her vet bills. Rosamunda, her cat, was asked to perform but declined. She’d rather lounge under the sofa than be in the limelight. “Being from Transylvania, is expected of me to be creepy, so I oblige, from time to time, albeit not in Hollywood style,” said Ella Veres, lead performer and director of On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations. “The war in Ukraine riled my memories up, and urged me to point out how much there is to lose.” The performance will run approximately one hour. Each show is a different iteration. Ella Veres is an independent performer and writer who has been active in the New York City cultural community since 2001. Her work has been presented at the Immigrant Theater Festival, Galapagos Art Space, Manhattan Theater Source, IWAS,The Field, Theater for the New City, The Moth, Stage Left, Bowery Poetry Club, Chashama, and her present incubator, Fountain House Gallery. For several years she focused on her visual art, but in 2022, serendipity made her act in Stories From My Mother at the Theater for the New City, and thus reminded her how lovely it is to be in front of a live audience. Her current solo storytelling show, On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations, was shaped during her 2023 Fountain House Gallery summer residency on Governors Island and in Adam Wade’s Magnet Theater Solo Workshop, and premiered successfully at the 2024 NYC Fringe Festival.

Have you ever pondered the evolution of trigger words and phrases? Enter Philip Galinsky, a multifaceted talent known for his roles as an actor, author, and voice-over artist. Philip invites you to experience 31 Triggers live ONE NIGHT ONLY! at the historic UNDER ST. MARKS THEATRE This one-of-a-kind event offers attendees the chance to immerse themselves in Philip's curated collection of triggers, developed over his more than 20 years in NYC. From the allure of Magnolia Bakery to the simplicity of an air mattress, and the ultimate New York City iced coffee hack, Philip's triggers promise to spark curiosity, evoke emotions, and generate unstoppable engagement. Participants will have the unique opportunity to share their own triggers with Galinsky, engaging in insightful discussions and experiencing moments of hilarity as they delve into the power of trigger words and phrases. Galinsky's selection of 31 triggers promises to captivate audiences with phrases such as "foodie call," "Ron Jeremy," and "Me Too," creating a dynamic arsenal for an evening filled with full audience participation. But why limit the triggers to just 31? Attendees will discover the reasoning behind this selection, along with insights into why seemingly innocuous phrases like "My Condolences" or routine experiences like physical exams can hold such triggering power. Join us for an evening that promises to be an unparalleled Trigger extravaganza, elevating St. Marks Theatre into a hub of lively discussion and exploration.
