“Antigone in Analysis” is featured in this video on the New York Times on the many adaptations of the myth person,ing in NYC. Check it out and then get your tickets here: https://lamama.org/antigone-in-analysis/

Antigone, an ancient Greek play, is being adapted in several theaters across New York City. Our critic Helen Shaw explains why Sophocles’s anti-heroine is such a relevant figure today.

How cool is this: at least 3 (so far) reviews of The Public's Antigone, mention Barbara's play! Some kind of peculiar marketing? Man, I really hope people come see this: https://lamama.org/antigone-in-analysis/

If you are wondering, rehearsals are going great! You gotta come see this cast...

Is it peculiar to still be doing virtual performance post-pandemic? It's nice to be asked to talk about theater, again, so here's to kicking-off our new year, today, Jan. 9, 5:30pm.

Two Really BIG Reasons to Support Peculiar Works

We have a couple of productions coming up in 2025 that we just can't wait to share with you!

It's incredible how much Freedom's Last Stand has grown since the two 2023 workshops! Barry has been working with the talented creative team to tighten all of the screws on this immersive tragedy of conspiracies and extremism. We're thrilled to announce that it will be our May production: stayed tuned for more details to come!

We’re also excited by the progress of Barbara Barclay Yoshida's adaptation of Antigone. She’s been working on it all year and in December 2024, we premiered it in a standing-room only staged reading at La MaMa. Don't miss the full production coming at the end of 2025.

We're so grateful to all of our friends and supporters who've helped us realize our projects over the past 31 years (we couldn't do any of this without all of you)! But we hope everyone can chip in a little to help us make amazing new art in 2025. Visit Network for Good to donate today! https://www.networkforgood.org/donation/ExpressDonation.aspx?ORGID2=13-4089362

A Very Happy New Year to Everyone!
