DescIn 2017, The Flea Theater moved into our brand-new performing arts facility which officially opened in September, and produced a variety of world premiere programming: Inanimate, a play about an unusual love affair; Syncing Ink, a coming of age story about becoming a rapper; Cereals, culturally specific programming for children; Serials, our late night episodic play competition; and Flea Fridays, a series of cabaret-like evenings that are curated around a question we are grappling with.In addition to our fully produced works, we held several workshops for plays and initiative in development, maintained a company of resident performers and directors, and hosted readings and workshops of their projects providing a home base of support for young performers, directors and designers.Desc
