"PACKED WITH YOUNG TALENT. IN THE RISK-TAKING VENTURE THAT IS SUMMER FESTIVAL-GOING, ENCOUNTERING TALENT YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF IS A WORTHY PAYOFF." - THE NEW YORK TIMES
“It’s inspiring to see any festival craft such essential work with this emphasis on community engagement.” - HYPERALLERGIC
Formed in 2017 in response to the erosion of New York City’s once critically vibrant Off-Off-Broadway/indie theater scene, Corkscrew Theater Festival’s mission is to reduce the steep financial and material barriers for early-career artists striving to produce work unreliant on traditional nonprofit and commercial models. Merging the institutional support of a theater company, the soul of a collective, and the energy of a festival, Corkscrew prioritizes new and underrepresented voices creating spectacularly eclectic, defiantly exhilarating, subversively jubilant theater.
