Stage Left - Building for the Arts

Stage Left is an innovative new play festival from Working Theater and Broadway Advocacy Coalition that brings the stories from the frontlines of progressive movements to center stage. This year’s festival features productions: How to Melt Ice, Noivos, #NewSlaves, Narrowsburg, and Sisyphus in Yaffa. Each play is paired with a community partner —XXX—to catalyze conversation and create pathways to immediate, meaningful action.

By bridging theater and social change, Stage Left transforms performance into a site of solidarity, reflection, and resistance. Supported by the Murphy Institute and Leadership for Democracy and Social Justice and presented at Theatre Row, Stage Left explores the power of collective storytelling and redefines what it means for art to be in service of justice.

Each performance is followed by a talk back from the partner organization.

We believe theater should not be a luxury or privilege, but available and accessible to all who want to participate. Towards that core belief, all programming is offered on a sliding scale ticket model. Please choose the ticket price that reflects your means. If you need a guide, please use our sliding ticket model information page.

We also recognize that accessibility is not only about available cash, but also about the perceived elitist and exclusive nature of theater itself. We want to make play-going a regular part of our cultural lives. All are welcome here. These stories are yours. So you decide your ticket price, and let’s hold each other up as a community and welcome each other into a room not determined by economic means, class, race, religion or culture.

If you do not see a ticket price that reflects your means, please choose a ticket price you are comfortable with and add a donation to that. If you have any trouble or need assistance, please contact tickets@theworkingtheater.org.
