They’ll be working behind the scenes to create bold, original pieces. On June 28, catch their final performance—an exciting showcase of fresh voices and imaginative new work.

The group breaks the traditional theatrical bounds to create its own brand of theater. Founded in The Bronx, New York in 1995, the members of UNIVERSES came together in the urban poetry and music scene of the late 1990s, quickly moving through the “downtown” performance scene to build a home for themselves in American ensemble theatre company. In their 24 years, UNIVERSES has performed at venues throughout the United States and toured extensively worldwide.
