November 12th-15th, 2026
One weekend only - NYU Skirball imports one of Ireland’s finest experimental troupes with their newest, an adaptation of Ilya Khaminsky’s really astounding verse-narrative of the same name. It looks hyper-theatrical, political, lush…I am literally booked this entire weekend and cannot make it, GO IN MY PLACE!

why would you hurt me on a dying planet? : Kat Sotelo, Hillary Gao
Ars Nova
Friday November 6th, 2026
Kat Sotelo is an artist who flirts with the sublime. A siren in ten-inch pleasers who prances through the glitteriest depths of our collective imagination, Sotelo dreams big: motorcycle rides, Rapunzelesque hairpieces, the tallest cakesit in recorded history. When working with Hillary Gao, the glitched-out, fuzzily nostalgic digital portion of her practice comes especially to life, as witnessed at box machine just last week. These two know just how to make you ache— but god, it feels good.
Staffer: Leah Plante-Wiener
Another collaboration to get excited about! Kat Sotelo is gleefully dangerous and Hillary Gao is poetically complex. What will they do together?! I suppose one most journey out to Ars Nova and find out!

CRETINS : George Corrin, L Stevens, Aaron Berlau, Dot Davis, Bri Joy, Susannah Yezzi, Jerilyn Armstrong, Madison Fargo, Noah Stevens
Cloud City
Saturday November 7th, 2026
A reading of a new play by George Corrin, which also happens to be a great case of a blurb that I have nothing to add to: “Pink Flamingos meets Deathrace 2000. The Cretins are a killer queer biker gang competing to commit the most heinous hit-and-runs. […] CRETINS pulls from exploitation films, the Theater of the Ridiculous, Vaginal Davis’s ‘terrorist drag,’ and the works of John Waters to create something truly sickening. As such it is filled with extreme violence and sexuality that is at times sexy, upsetting, political, disgusting, immoral, or fun.”

IMPRESSIVE, SINCERELY : Robert Norman, Alex Hare, Annika Burley, Joshua William Gelb, Amara James Aja, Liz Leimkuhler, Sophie Sorensen, Sara Robillard, Ugly & Arrogant Productions
P&T Knitwear Bookstore
November 9th-December 6th, 2026
This play about a failed American author who goes to a small German town where her book is incredibly popular … and then things go awry … is in a bookstore! It seems like all the pieces have come together to make this a not-to-be-missed show in the final whispers of 2026.
