The Edge of Theater
For those who find Broadway too mainstream, the Under the Radar Festival is your sanctuary. Running January 7–25, 2026, this festival celebrates independent and experimental theater from around the world.
Global Innovation
Historically associated with The Public Theater and now partnering with venues like Lincoln Center and BAM, UTR tracks the future of performance art. Expect multimedia plays, non-linear storytelling, and works that challenge the status quo. It is the perfect cultural counterweight to the commercial conventions listed in our Pillar Calendar.
If you want to see what the next decade of theater looks like, grab a pass and keep an open mind.
