Wingéd Monkeys began as an open communal collaboration, on February 25th, 2024, in the Hudson Valley, by seasoned theatre, film, & tv professionals. The very first event was a reading of a classic play, with 27 of the 40 audience members reading roles cold. It was a triumphant celebration of the magic of flying by the seat of your pants.
Next, we launched our series, Pieces: playwrights bringing original short works to the stage, rehearsed and produced with minimal sets, costumes, & effects. The bare-bones aspects not only spark the imagination of the audience, but allow us to bring high-quality & affordable theatre to the Hudson Valley community, furthering our goal of intimacy and camaraderie.
We have since had one-person shows, more live readings, and three other Pieces shows in Hudson and Kingston -- all great artistic successes that brought together brand-new and seasoned artists in collaboration to raise our spirits, stimulate our minds, and soothe our souls. Let’s keep our fight alive through our union.
These events endeavor to offer top-quality theater that can bring independent artists and theater lovers together more often.
We strive for theater that is accessible to everyone.
Thank you for your support!
