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

DescIn 2016 The Flea Theater produced seven full productions at our White Street location: "Take Care," a participatory performance about danger; "But I Could Only Whisper," which explored trauma; "Wolf in the River," a new play from Adam Rapp; "The Trojan Women;" and finally "Squash" and "Ajax," two plays but the late A.R. Gurney. Following the closing of those productions, we moved to our new permanent home at 20 Thomas Street.In addition to our fully produced works, we held several workshops for plays and initiatives in development, maintained a company or resident performers and directors and hosted reading and workshops of their projects - providing a home base of support for young performers, directors and designers.Desc
