Presented by The Bushwick Starr

A mad scientist named Michael presents a workshop on "thinking about", a technique for untethering yourself from linear thought and expanding your mind's ideation possibilities. Using notebooks and a whiteboard as a guide, Michael and the audience become co-conspirators in the creation of comedic chaos. Through a series of jokes, crowd games, monologues, creative exercises and real time “thought experiments”, Michael leads the audience down a winding road of absurdist and associative thought that brings us back to what really matters: our connection to ourselves and the people around us.

Many happy returns this Spring, with 3 acclaimed Bushwick Starr premieres returning to theater's around town – Rheology at Playwrights Horizons, Animal Wisdom at Signature Theatre, and A Woman Among Women at LCT3! As a developer of new work, it is extremely meaningful to see our shows live on beyond our walls. It demonstrates that we’re playing our important role in the ecosystem of NYC performance, and staying true to our mission to foster bold new work. See you at the theater!
