The Neo-Futurists are an ensemble of artists who write, direct, and perform their own work dedicated to social, political, and personal enlightenment in the form of audience-interactive, conceptual theater.

The Neo-Futurists are dedicated to:

1) Strengthening the human bond between performer and audience. We feel that the more sincere and genuine we can be on stage, the greater will be the audience’s identification with the unadorned people and issues before them.

2) Embracing a form of non-illusory theater in order to present our lives and our ideas as directly as possible. All of our plays are set on the stage in front of the audience. All of our “characters” are ourselves. All of our stories really happened. All of our tasks are actual challenges. We do not aim to “suspend the audience’s disbelief” but to create a world where the stage is a continuation of daily life.

3) Embracing the moment through audience interaction and planned obsolescence. In order to keep ourselves as alive on stage as possible, we interweave elements of chance and change – contradicting the expected and eliminating the permanent.

4) Presenting inexpensive art for the general public. We aim to influence the widest audience possible by keeping our ticket prices affordable and our productions intellectually and emotionally challenging yet accessible.
