DKAF has a new slogan: “Where new work goes to grow!” Most arts festivals present work that has already been completed, reviewed and polished. Door Kinetic Arts Festival (DKAF) offers something different: the opportunity to experience new work while it is still being discovered – and perhaps to see it years before the rest of the world does.
Registration is open for Third Avenue PlayWorks’ (TAP) fall theatre workshops for adults, led by Dan Klarer, TAP’s community engagement and education coordinator.
Registration is open now for Third Avenue PlayWorks adult fall theater workshops.

Our upcoming production of The Call List by Brian James Polak is going to be a world premiere, but what exactly does that entail? Writing the play is just the beginning and this particular script has been through several workshops prior to our full, professional production complete with all the sets, costumes, and lighting you would expect from any production at Third Avenue PlayWorks. As an audience member, you’ll be among the first ever to see the new work brought to life on our stage.

What do Moonlighting, I Love Lucy, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Michael Hollinger's Red Herring have in common? At first glance, they seem to come from very different worlds. One is a screwball detective series from the 1980s, another is one of television's most beloved sitcoms, another is a fast-paced comedy-drama set in the late 1950s, and Red Herring is a stage comedy wrapped around a murder mystery. But beneath the surface, they all share the same irresistible ingredients: quick wit, unforgettable characters, romantic tension, and a healthy dose of chaos. If you're a fan of any of these iconic shows, you'll likely find yourself right at home in Red Herring.
