NERO is a Shakespearean, five-act “streamplay” theatricalizing the history from George W. Bush’s War on Terror to our present day as the rise and fall of Nero’s Roman Empire. Set in 64AD in Rome’s Palace of the Frogs, this “state of the nation” tragicomedy invites Black, Indigenous and People of Color to examine how white male supremacy is the root of American Imperialism.

Transport Group and Lucille Lortel Theatre present

On Set With Theda Bara

Written by Joey Merlo | Directed by Jack Serio |

Performed by David Greenspan

February 6, 2024 – March 9, 2024

General admission tickets are $49 for previews,

February 6–13, and $69 thereafter.



A limited number of $25 rush tickets will be available at each performance for audience members aged 40 and under (ID required).

In this hallucination of a one-person show, a genderqueer teen who goes missing and their gay detective father come face-to-face with the supernatural and consciousness-devouring Theda Bara, the real-life vamp and silent film star of the 1910s. ON SET WITH THEDA BARA is part gothic coming-of-age story and part campy melodrama about identity consumption and the horror of not knowing who you are.

How to Be in Front of People:

Mastering the Art of Live Performance

with River L. Ramirez

5 Sessions – January 23, 30 February 6, 13, 20, 2024

6-8pm at Brick Aux – 628 Metropolitan Ave

$50

This class is for experienced live performers, and/or those that have taken level 1 of How To Be In Front of People.

In this class we will focus on finding balance within one’s self and bringing that to the stage. How do we become comfortable showing our selves to others? First, we figure out how to be comfortable with ourselves. What are your values, what are your intentions, what are you wanting to say and express? In this course we will dig deep to get closer to the reasons we perform.

Through group conversations, writing prompts, movement exercises, and practicing performance in front of trusted peers, we dig deeper into our performance practices to dig out what is hidden and what wants to be seen.
