At The Mechanicals Theater Company, we are dedicated to exploring the depths of the human experience through modern and original works with a dash of macabre. Our mission is to push boundaries and ignite the imagination, creating immersive theatrical experiences that challenge perceptions, provoke thought, and evoke visceral emotions. We strive to elevate diverse voices and innovative storytelling, crafting a space where fear becomes a catalyst for reflection and connection.
And as we honor our origin of Shakespearean work, like the Mechanicals of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, we are a group of multi-disciplinary artists who love creating together and investing in the New York City community. Join us on this journey!
