COMING SOON…

Celebrating the year behind, and the year ahead…

Last season in 2019 Red Tape Theatre hit some pretty big milestones:

We gave away over 2,700 FREE tickets to our shows and programming! Yes – that’s right … 2700 tickets free of charge!

We produced 4 full length shows :
In The Blood (directed by Chika Ike)
We Are Pussy Riot (directed by Kate Hendrickson)
All Quiet on the Western Front (directed by Matt Foss)
Queen of Sock Pairing (directed by Zach Weinberg)
(Including providing open captions for all 4 shows thanks to our accessibility director Brenda Scott Wlazlo)

We hosted free readings and workshops throughout the year in our space.

We started a recurring Poetry and Spoken Word event – Red Talk (curated by Kiayla Ryan)

We hosted 2 successful fundraising events – our Champagne and Caviar New Years Eve Party hosted by Coco Sho-Nell and our Red White and Black Gala hosted by our board!

We added a record number of company members and brought a record number of new designers and artists into our home in Lincoln Square – The Ready.

We renovated our space to make it more accessible to all audiences!

As we continue in 2020 we promise to keep up the good work!

We will soon be announcing the opening show in our next season – and we would love you to join us for free this year as we continue spreading the Free Theatre Movement!

From our artistic director Max Truax, our managing director Ben Kaye, and all of our staff and company members – we continue to wish you a Happy New Year!

The Free Theatre Movement

Beginning in 2018…

“The public interest is best served by the free exchange of ideas.” – John Kane

Red Tape believes that access to the arts is essential for our community’s ability to engage in a free exchange of ideas. As an art form, the immediacy of theatre provides a powerful platform for this exchange. We strive to remove the barriers that exist between our community and an increasingly commodified culture. Starting in January of 2018, we will offer all of our quality theatrical productions to the public free of charge.
