The Measures Taken

"Your report shows us what is needed to change the world: anger and tenacity, knowledge and indignation swift action, utmost deliberation, cold endurance, unending perseverance, comprehension of the individual and comprehension of the whole."

Four political agitators report the murder of a young comrade to their Party leaders and in order to explain themselves they stage a play. In The Measures Taken, Brecht leads us to question the nature of violence, solidarity, and sacrifice, as we follow the four agitators on their mission to spread propaganda, incite world revolution, and overthrow the evils of a capitalist society.

The Exponential Festival:

~ A pleasure, a mess, a thrill, and a dream. ~​

Exponential is a 501c3 January performance festival for NYC-based emerging artists working in experimental performance. The participants in this multi-artist, multi-venue festival are committed to ecstatic creativity in the face of commercialism. Exponential is driven by inclusiveness and a diversity of artists, forms, and ideas coupled with utopian resource-sharing, mentoring and the championing of risky, rigorous work in eclectic fields.

COVID-19 Policy:

All attendees and artists of the in-person performance will be required to display proof of full COVID vaccination before being admitted to the space, either by showing a vaccination record (vaccination card) at least two weeks out from the final dose of an approved vaccine, or by using New York's free Excelsior Pass service.

Patrons will also be required to wear masks while indoors at all times.
