DATE: Saturday, January 11th
LOCATION: 209 E. 16th St, NYC

A Mini-Reading Festival for Playwrights
Join us for Curtain Rising, a festival celebrating early-stage playwrights and their untold stories. This initiative uplifts diverse voices, fosters dialogue, and inspires change through thought-provoking theater.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: January 10, 2025
We create theater about and for people on the margin of society, exploring the realms of personal, interpersonal, communal, societal, and existential alienation, and investigating the conditions necessary for reconciliation to occur. Our method of reconciliation is not just in the art-making, but also in the convening of artists and audiences to dialogue with one another.

WHEN YOU BECOME A SUSTAINING MEMBER, YOU’RE SUPPORTING:
A place where stories unite audiences: We believe in theater’s power to facilitate understanding. Sea Dog Theater is more than just a stage; it’s a haven for hope-filled gatherings, where strangers turn into friends. We consciously cultivate a space for diverse stories to converge, on-stage and off.
A remedy to the loneliness epidemic: By exploring questions of alienation and reconciliation in our artistic work, we delve into one of modern day’s great challenges. By gathering our artists and audiences post-show for facilitated conversations, we create the conditions for connection and for strangers to turn into friends.
Empowered Artists: We honor and support our talented collaborators by ensuring every artist involved in our productions is paid for their creativity and dedication. At Sea Dog, we believe in fair compensation, valuing the artists who bring our visions to life.
Art for All: Our events are designed to be accessible to everyone, with ticket prices ranging from $10 to $40, with free entry for those unable to contribute. In a city where ticket prices often soar, we're committed to making theater-going affordable, ensuring that captivating performances remain within reach for all.
A welcoming community space: Hospitality is at the heart of our mission. We invite audiences and artists to join us for post-show gatherings over hors d’oeuvres and wine. At Sea Dog, hospitality is more than a tradition—it's a cornerstone of our identity.
