New Works, Iconic Stages.
Join Us at The Old Globe and Actors Theatre this Spring.
This spring, Fiasco Theater returns to the stage with two striking new productions. Dive into the "glorious comic confusion" of The Comedy of Errors at Actors Theatre of Louisville, or catch the world premiere of the darkly comic Bartleby at The Old Globe. Discover how we’re breathing new life into these classic tales through original music, physical storytelling, and the Fiasco spirit.
Bartleby
February 20 - March 15, 2026
The Old Globe
Fiasco Theater, who dazzled Globe audiences with Into the Woods and The Imaginary Invalid, returns with a striking new take on Herman Melville’s darkly comic classic, Bartleby, the Scrivener.
The Comedy of Errors
March 4-15, 2026
Actors Theatre of Louisville
Actors Theatre of Louisville welcomes back New York-based company Fiasco Theater as they combine their joyful, actor-driven approach to Shakespeare with the ingenuity of The Saunders Collective—a family of multi-talented performers, singers, composers and producers.
"A force to reckon with in the American Theater."
- The New York Times
FIASCO THEATER is an award-winning, actor-driven, New York City-based company.
We offer innovative and joyful productions to audiences and high-level training to student artists. We are founded by actors, centered on text and invite the imagination and pleasure of all those on stage and in the audience in everything that we make. Our accessible, affordable, and transformative training programs for early-career actors range from shorter masterclasses and workshops to our full-time Conservatory program.
Training with Fiasco
Since our founding in 2009, Fiasco Theater has had a dual-part mission — equally valuing both artistic productions for audiences alongside education programs that provide exemplary classical training and give actors agency and access in what is, traditionally, a hierarchical and exclusionary system.
Support Fiasco
At Fiasco Theater, we believe in the transformative power of actor-driven storytelling, bringing innovative and joyful productions to life while providing unparalleled training for the next generation of artists. Your generous support is crucial to our mission, enabling us to continue offering accessible and affordable theater experiences, expanding our vital training programs for early-career actors, and developing new works through initiatives like our Without a Net workshop performance series.
