WHO: The Collective NY unites professional artists who share a responsibility to create work in the contemporary American Theatre that is emotionally truthful, socially relevant, and defiantly accessible. Founded in 2007 by Amy Schumer & Kevin Kane, among others, The Collective NY’s weekly sessions have birthed several renowned projects such as Emmy award winning TV show Inside Amy Schumer. It is during these meetings that the plays for the ten minute series are worked on. The collaborative power of the ensemble sets the company’s work apart from others. Currently, the production company is a creative home to over 60 artists & is headed by Artistic Directors Ross DeGraw & Sayra Player.

WHAT: For its sixth consecutive year, The Collective NY is excited to produce its C:10 series – a compilation of several short, ten minute plays. This year is a series of three programs: Capture, Bound, Escape – all of the plays tackle many current socially relevant themes. CAPTURE’s focus is on aspects of being a woman today. BOUND’s focus is on the NFL, madness, privilege and gun control. ESCAPE’s focus is on addiction, home, government fears and school shootings. All programs run 1 hour.
