The New York Neo-Futurists are a radically dynamic ensemble of multidisciplinary artists who write and perform original work rooted in the truth of our own lived experiences. We fuse elements of poetry, game, and performance art to create ever-changing theatre and other artistic experiments to respond to the world around us.

We create theater that is responsive, honest, and brave in its art, in the community, and in its service to artists.

• We believe in empowering the artist to share their own stories honestly on stage.

• We believe in embracing failure, experimentation, and change.

• We believe in creating art under four tenets: we are who we are, we are where we are, we are doing what we are doing, and the time is now.

• We believe that limitations and gamified structure set our creativity free.

• We believe in giving artists the opportunity to develop their voice through rigorous participation in our collective process of creation and re-creation.

• We believe in generating a high volume of work, living with this work for a short time, then moving onto what’s next.

• We believe in making work for curious audiences who ask questions of themselves and their communities.

• We must create more space for artists who are historically excluded and undervalued by American mainstream theater and its inequitable arts model.

The NYNF was established in 2004 by 10 original ensemble members. After 20 years of residencies at venues including HERE, the Belt, Cherry Lane, the Kraine, and Theater 154, we returned to Brooklyn in 2025 to The Second City, where we now perform our critically-acclaimed signature show, THE INFINITE WRENCH, twice a week, 50 weeks per year. To date, our 100+ ensemble members, past and present, have written and produced over 7,500 original plays. Many of our alumni now write and perform for film and TV, work on Broadway, helm hit podcasts, and teach acting, writing, and theater in NY schools and universities.
