MissionFounded in 1996, The Flea Theaters mission is simple yet bold: to raise a joyful hell in a small space, representing the best and brightest of what Off-Off-Broadway can be. The Flea produces over 250 performances each year, giving voice and opportunity to diverse and innovative writers, directors, actors and designers who have something urgent to say about our world. The Flea is a destination for bold and adventurous theater that sticks, and stays with you long after the performance.MissionDesc

Desc2020 was a momentous year and The Flea has faced tremendous challenges, growth, and transformation. As the year began we continued SERIALS, which celebrated its 57th and 58th Cycles in February and June respectively. SERIALS played to a total audience of 388 in both live and virtual formats in 2020. In March, The Flea was in previews for MacArthur Genius and Flea resident artist alum Taylor Macs hilarious new play about polarization in America, The Fre. The production was intended to give 16 resident actors a showcase in the Taylor Mac premiere and had virtually sold out every show to 1,210 audience members. The Covid 19 pandemic shuttered The Flea the day before opening night. We were set to host 18 Anchor Partner productions throughout 2020 (4 opened before the shutdown).After March 15th, The Flea quickly pivoted to developing virtual programming including SERIALS as well as an animated adaptation of its Off-Broadway Alliance Award-nominated childrens show Not My Monster! However, given the financial challenges of the pandemic and the subsequent acute downsizing of staff, our legacy resident artist programs closed for comprehensive revision so that The Flea can focus its resources to serve a smaller cohort of diverse artists more substantively.The Flea has embraced the trajectory of events of 2020 as an opportunity to revisit our mission and realign programming and organizational design with our values and means. We embark on re-emerging as a radically changed institution... but with the same small-but-mighty vitality that has always been synonymous with The Flea.Desc
