Tanked!

As the days get shorter, our end of year fundraising campaign is nearing its end. With just a few days left, we reached out to some of the artists who were at The Tank this year to get their opinions on why you should #JoinTheTank

You can support our fundraising campaign at JoinTheTank.org

We step out of The Tank and head a few blocks north to The Drama Book Shop for this very special live episode of Tanked! Roz & MF sit down and share a cup of eggnog with Tony award-winner Greg Kotis to discuss the 10 year anniversary production of The Truth About Santa. Is there exclusive info about Greg's next show? Only one way to find out! Plus, hear a follow up voicemail from Collin's Corner.

We sit down with the creators and stars of The Russian and The Jew to talk about their smash hit show. They first workshopped it at The Tank back in January, and now it is shining in our 56-seat theater. Hear them talk about russians, jews, and how the themes around immigration strike poignantly across decades.

Come join Meghan & Roz talk with Christopher Stevenson, director and sound designer of Weekend, adapted from Jean-Luc Godard's text, which follows a monstrous couple set out on a weekend trip along the American countryside to collect inheritance money by any means. We talk about the inspiration behind the show, the correlation of the show to its original text, and what makes a show stand out. And some KFC.

These two have become an essential part of our Tank family, and we can't wait for their first collaboration together. Independent Study traces the unlikely friendship of a first-generation college student and her former professor, each struggling privately with a brother's radical choice and the onslaught of the internet’s opinions. We discuss the ways they've physicalized the internet within the play and many of the real-life experiences that have influenced this piece. Also, did Phil Collins murder someone?

On this episode, we sit down with the playwright of When We Went Electronic to talk about this new play which follows two American Apparel models as they try to recall a tragic/fun night. Caitlin has been developing this play for seven years, and talks to us about her journey and her collaboration with Meghan directing the piece. We also hear an exclusive performance of "Possession" from the show performed by the composer Sarah Frances Cagianese. 

This week, we sit down with director, writer, and designer, Normandy Sherwood to talk about her new show Ruffles, or, a Progression of Rakes. She has been workshopping this piece for years now, and she walks us through its development, and also how she has developed in her time as a New York theater artist. Also our first first installment of Collin's Corner. 

For our first episode, Co-Artistic Director Meghan Finn sits down with the creator and director of the new piece In The Penal Colony, Miranda Haymon to discuss the insightful and experimental piece running at The Tank through September 17th. They talk about how the piece came to be, its relation to today's societal forces, and Miranda's own background. All of this plus stories from Roz & MF and our favorite (and only) featured segment: email count!
