Nobody, that is, except for Lubicchi – a dreamy-eyed young boy who yearns to see the stars he’s only heard about in stories told to him by his father. One night, a chance encounter with Binny – a monster made entirely of garbage – sparks an epic adventure as this unlikely duo sets off to find clarity in a world too often obscured.

Don’t spend the holidays “Alone,” run barefoot to the Colony Theatre and see the Troubies “Kick it Out,” but remember, don’t be late-comers or we’ll go “Crazy on You!” Hans Gruber and his “Bara-crewda” will be gunning for laughs in Burbank as they take on that tempestuous “Magic Man,” John McClane in this can’t-miss Troubie extravaganza!

Three men chew the fat under an old, wide tree. We peek into the interiority – the great loves and bitter blues – of Black men in America.

Kelley Curran and Joshua David Robinson with Jordan Bellow, Lennox T. Duong, Ceci Fernandez, Jake Ryan Lozano, and Kristen Sieh.
Christopher Marlowe’s infamous cautionary tale of a literal deal with the Devil is brought to new life as an incendiary punk cabaret where the Devil invites an audience to witness the temptation and destruction of a soul as both entertainment and catharsis.

Red Bull Theater‘s Richard II, adapted & directed by Craig Baldwin, is currently in previews, and will open Nov.10 and continue through Nov. 30 at the Astor Place Theatre.
Michael Urie (Richard II), Grantham Coleman, Ron Canada, Kathryn Meisle, David Mattar Merten, Lux Pascal, James Seol, Daniel Stewart Sherman, Ryan Spahn, Emily Swallow, and Sarin Monae West.
Ambition and betrayal reign supreme in this electrifying reimagining of Shakespeare’s poetic masterpiece. Set in 1980s Manhattan, the neon skyline and shadowy backrooms become an epic battleground of identity and power, where a king’s divine right crumbles beneath the weight of human frailty. Michael Urie’s virtuosic performance and Craig Baldwin’s inventive adaptation make Richard’s tragic descent freshly immediate, staged a stone’s throw from the site of the historic Astor Place Riots, the original American cocktail of politics, insurrection, and Shakespeare.
