At the forefront of contemporary NYC theatre

"DON'T MISS!.....the best that the New York avant-garde has to offer" - Time Out

“Some of New York’s most distinctive contemporary theatre artists” - The New York Times

As the start of the Fall ‘05 season the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center presented PRELUDE at the CUNY Graduate Center.

PRELUDE is a MINI-FESTIVAL featuring 20 in-progress performances, readings, open rehearsals, and talkbacks. The third PRELUDE previewed the 2005 – 2006 season and beyond. The audience was invited to see the upcoming work of New York's most exciting theatre in one place and experience the developmental process of the city's best contemporary theatre artists and companies. All performances and presentations were followed by informal talk-backs with artists. Photos courtesy of the official PRELUDE ’05 photographer Tasja Keetman. PRELUDE’05 was picked two times by TIME OUT as a “Don’t Miss” event.
