January in New York City is a feast of theatrical adventure provided by cutting edge performers and artists from all around the world. Eight festivals at venues across the city showcase a wide range of theatrical performances, plus many opportunities for mingling with artists at late night parties at the The Public Theater and The Wild Project.
On this episode of the Maxamoo Podcast, our founder Lindsay, Nicole from Mildly Bitters Musings, and Jack, a writer at Maxamoo, sort the hundreds of performances to find the shows were most excited to see. We go fan-girly over Kate Tempest, Dan OBrien, and Brian Lobell and discuss transportation options to Greenpoint, Brooklyn, after first establishing where exactly that is. Enjoy the show!
