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.

Spring 2026:
Free Training Initiatives
Ensemble-Based Training for Actors and Educators.
Fiasco Theater’s Free Training Initiatives (FTI) offer high-level conservatory training in central Manhattan at zero cost to participants. Since 2009, these intensives have introduced artists to our joy-based rehearsal method, fostering a space where bravery, text, and ensemble meet.
"A force to reckon with in the American Theater."
