We Are The Makers' Ensemble. We are a resident ensemble made up of multi-faceted theatre actors, musicians, playwrights, designers, directors, and devisers. We Make Theatre. We make theatre: a powerful agent for cultural engagement, accessible artistry, and progress towards inclusion, dignity, and radical creativity. We Are Different. We are different people. We come from many different places and all have different educational, social, and identity backgrounds, but we primarily work in the intersectional spheres of performance and social justice, and we make that work while living on Lenape Land otherwise known as the New York metropolitan area. We Are Dedicated. We are dedicated to collective artistic empowerment. We are dedicated to dynamic, diverse, and balanced collaboration. We are dedicated to a symbiotic engagement with a wide range of audiences. We are dedicated to using entertainment, education, action, and radical energy and empathy to challenge, inspire, excite, build, rebuild, repair, restore, recreate, and reimagine.

SHORT PLAY FEST
Four Curated Directors
Four Emerging Playwrights
FOUR NIGHTS ONLY
The Makers' Ensemble Presents their second annual SHORT PLAY FEST. Four Curated Directors lead work-in-progress showings of four new plays by four emerging playwrights.

Fishing
Written by Parade Stone

Directed by Jordan Laffrenier

Byron, an expert in all things fishing in New York City, forms an unlikely bond with the stoic visitor to the East River fishing site under the FDR Drive, Lucas. Despite a rough start to the relationship which consists of Lucas cursing Byron out in Portuguese, their conversations about fishing techniques devolve into meditations on father and son relationships, the inevitability of loss, and the intangible power of a New York City sunset.

Motherless…
Written by Kimoy James

Directed by Mayah Lourdes Burke

Motherless…, is a play about grief, healing, and love. Four women; surviving after their mother’s passing, take a step into vulnerability and arrive at an honest moment in their lives where it forces them to not only see their truth but to speak it. Some for the first time. This play is for anyone who has lost someone important to them and courageously lives on.

Based on a True Story
Written by Dane Rooney

Directed by Sunflower B. Rose

Have you ever had a conversation with strangers that changes your life? “Based on a True Story” is just that—a true life tête-à-tête on the film Call Me by Your Name. Ultimately, the play is about how art can unlock the secret desires of our past and seize our days while they last.

TUG
Written by Angel J. Rivas

Directed by Camille Pileggi

TUG is a story about two individuals who love each other deeply but can’t find a way to make it work. I drew from past relationships of mine, but also those I observed going through life. I've come to realize that love is a force that can bind even the most incompatible individuals. It can create this push and pull that inevitably leaves someone victorious and the other, on the ground, defeated.
