THE EVENING CRANE THEATRE

I.

The Evening Crane Theatre is a NYC-based theatre ensemble dedicated to the resurrection of forgotten 19th century masterworks, and the presentation of new plays in a lyrical mode. We seek works which:

1) evade imprisonment in the specious present,
2) sunder symbol from the quotidian,
3) articulate malefic wonder.

The Evening Crane Theatre has produced and performed shows Off-Broadway, as well as in Brooklyn, the East Village, and the Hudson Valley of upstate New York. Festival performances have included the KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival (2018) and the International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards in Baltimore (2018). Since its founding, The Evening Crane Theatre has dramatized each of the verse plays of Lord Byron at least once.

The Evening Crane Theatre's feature film Enoptromancy, or When We Meet As One won two awards at the 2019 American Filmatic Arts Awards ceremony: BEST ENSEMBLE CAST in a Feature Film and BEST PRODUCER in a Feature Film. Read more about the film at: www.enoptromancy.com.
