DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU’RE A FOUNDER, READ VIP DESCRIPTION AT THE BOTTOM:
Startup founders are insufferable: the aspiring ones are delusional, the successful ones are psychopathic – either way they’re the last person you want on stage. UNLESS they are there to be publicly humiliated, which is exactly what this show is. Come watch these absolute fools get their silly little dreams crushed as they pitch their “companies” to a panel of very handsome ex-techie comedians with no intention to invest and no money.

VIP DESCRIPTION (FOR FOUNDERS ONLY)
Startup founders are extraordinary: from aspiring dreamers to experienced builders, you are the mavericks pushing society forward. You deserve an audience and resources to help you shape the future of tech. You deserve a platform that will hear your ideas and celebrate your mind, which is exactly what this show is. Come pitch your start up in front of a panel of very handsome VCs and industry leaders looking to invest considerable capital into trailblazers like you!

Long Island, 1986. Two recently divorced moms, four young kids, and one unconventional family inspired by the hit sitcom Kate & Allie.

In Kate, Allie and the ’86 Mets, Emmy-nominated producer and writer Kate Barry tells the true story of her mothers, Grace and Dorothy, who moved in together as best friends and built a loving family that lasted for decades.

Funny, nostalgic, heartfelt, and deeply personal, Kate looks back on the adventures, challenges, and triumphs that shaped their family—and asks the question she’s carried with her ever since: were her moms really “just like Kate and Allie,” or was their relationship something more?

After 26 years of bringing other people’s stories to the screen, Kate brings her own to the stage for the first time.

Written & Performed by Kate Barry
Directed by Alex Kagy

New York, your self-improvement journey starts this October. 📈

For one weekend only, the creators of Spies Are Forever and Solve It Squad bring you a brand-new interactive comedy musical where success is sold, buzzwords are endless, and toxic behavior is just another opportunity for growth.

THE BLIND LEMON is coming…Your mission—should you choose to accept it—is to attend a one-night-only presentation of this top-secret new musical by Karl Amundson & Tom Meglio.

Equal parts spy-thriller and political satire, THE BLIND LEMON is set in a near-future America renamed “Country,” now ruled by a sinister theocratic regime and their simple-minded puppet president, Dick Mason. When the activation tech for “The Blind Lemon”—a Cold War-era satellite weapon—goes missing from a high-security base, retired agent Dan Fran Cisco is pulled back into the field. Can he stop a terrorist plot that threatens to blind the nation? A story about blind faith, blind loyalty, and the fight for the common good, THE BLIND LEMON will leave you questioning everything: “Why God? Why Country?”

The Blind Lemon was named a Semifinalist for the 2026 Eugene O’Neill National Music Theater Conference.

🎭 WELCOME TO OPENING NIGHT… AND CLOSING NIGHT.

SH*TZPROBE is a fully improvised musical where a Broadway star throws away the script and makes up an entire musical on the spot.

🎶 Every song.
💃 Every dance move.
🎭 Every line of dialogue.
🎹 Even the score from the live band.

It’s all completely improvised—and it will never be performed again.

The best part? YOU name the musical. Shout out a title that doesn’t exist, and watch the cast turn it into a brand-new Broadway show right before your eyes.

Past Sh*tzprobe guests have included Broadway favorites from Aladdin, Wicked, Spamalot, Funny Girl, Mean Girls, The Prom, Freestyle Love Supreme, Titanique and more!

So… what the f*** is a Sh*tzprobe?

A “sitzprobe” is the first rehearsal where the cast and orchestra of a musical perform together. Sh*tzprobe skips the rehearsal, throws away the script, and makes the whole damn thing up.

✨ One night. One musical. Never to be seen again.
Follow for more!

💪✨ TIFFANY IN SPANDEX THE MUSICAL ✨💪
📅 September 17–27

"I THINK WE’RE IN SPANDEX NOW!"

’80s pop icon Tiffany makes her NYC theater debut in SPANDEX, a hilarious new aerobics-based musical packed with big hair, bigger dreams, and plenty of Lycra. 🎶🕺

Set against the glorious backdrop of the 1988 Crystal Light Aerobic Championship, three women team up to take down the menacing, poorly mulleted Trip Allen in the only place he might be vulnerable: the aerobics floor.

Starring Tiffany, Sims Lamason, and Catherine Ashmore Bradley, Spandex is part underdog story, part musical comedy, and 100% ’80s.

🏋️ Aerobics. 🎵 Original music. 👖 Questionable fashion choices.

September 17–27 at Asylum NYC!
