After an acclaimed premiere in Chicago, Dutch Kills Theater will present the New York Premiere of 2018 Weissberger Award for Playwrighting nominee THE ANTELOPE PARTY by Eric John Meyer. It is directed by 2017 Lucille Lortel Award winner Jess Chayes (HOME/SICK, Half Moon Bay) with dramaturgy by Sarah Lunnie (What the Constitution Means to Me, Grand Horizons, Hillary and Clinton, A Doll’s House Part 2). Performances were originally scheduled to begin March 19, 2020 at The Wild Project, but after a 19-month pandemic delay, performances will now begin November 4, 2021.

In THE ANTELOPE PARTY, five friends gather weekly to revel in their love of the children’s cartoon My Little Pony. But they soon find themselves caught between their innocent Brony role playing game and an increasingly dangerous outside world that keeps changing the rules. Eric John Meyer’s comic drama wrestles with the importance of community and the dangers of our need to belong.

THE ANTELOPE PARTY runs November 4 – 21. Performances are Tuesday – Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 3pm. The Wild Project is located at 195 E. 3rd Street between Aves A & B. Tickets are $35 at www.theantelope.party
