Set against the stirring soundscape of sea shanties, The Chequerboard Watch tells the tale of a crew of sailors on a challenging voyage aboard the 19th-century clipper ship, the Blue Jacket. What begins as a smooth voyage to South Australia quickly goes awry due to the captain’s orders going against the natural rhythms of the sea, and ultimately, the well-being and safety of his crew.

2) The 39 Steps

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have this fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! Only four actors play more than 150 characters in what becomes a feat of herculean hilarity and hair-pin turns in this two-time Tony Award-winning whodunit. Watch carefully as this show is chock-full of Alfred Hitchcock “Easter Eggs” galore!

When a chance encounter with an ill-fated beautiful spy sends Richard Hannay into the bullseye of a dangerous international crime ring it will send our audience on a bullet train-fast comic thrill ride full of plot twists, romance, quick-changes, and laughs delivered at a delightfully dizzying pace.

Wendy and Liam were bad at dating. They were even worse at falling in love. THE BAD DATERS is a darkly funny love story about moving on, making an effort, and letting someone love you. Set in Dublin and unfolding over a series of dates, a dating website brings Wendy and Liam together for a blind date neither wants.

Liam is looking for someone special, Wendy is looking for anyone but him. What happens when the last thing you’re looking for is exactly what you find? Blending biting Irish humor with emotional candor, THE BAD DATERS explores grief, loneliness, and the fragile hope of starting again.

9) Claws

CLAWS places you at the center of the narrative as you assume the role of a volunteer operator for the fictional “Etcetera Helpline.” Moments into the call, a terrified teenager begs you for help with a monster in his closet – but as the night unfolds, you may start to wonder which side of the closet door is really on. Your choices influence the outcome of the story in this suspenseful, psychologically-charged experience. What begins as a simple request for help quickly spirals into a series of high-stakes choices, leaving you to question what you believe - and whether your decisions will save Danny or unleash something far worse.

Running approximately 45-60 minutes, CLAWS unfolds entirely through a live phone call, allowing audiences anywhere in the world to participate from the privacy of their own home – or anywhere they choose. Candle House Collective’s work has become known for pushing the boundaries of immersive storytelling and creating intimate theatrical encounters that rely on imagination and real-time decision making.

16) Love Story

Maria is dead, but she’s still on the call sheet. She’s trapped inside a play that keeps restarting itself, where scenes from her life are rehearsed and revised by the people who loved her. Conversations loop. Arguments reset. Stage directions are sentient. Maria watches as their memories turn her into a character, a plot device in the stories of the people she loved. As the play slips between rehearsal, recollection, and imagined afterlives, Maria tries to wrest back authorship of her own story. She argues with monologues, questions the rules of the world she’s trapped in, and refuses to become a symbol of loss. Love Story navigates what comes after death, when love refuses to let you step into your light.

But their faith — and whole identity — is shaken to the very core when a deathbed confession causes the family legend to unravel. Full of twists, heart and humor, this comedy is as warming as a bowl of Matzoh Ball soup and reminds us that no matter our backgrounds, we're all part of the same story.

20) The Rule of Thirds

The play is inspired by a real event recounted in the autobiography of Robert Capa. Southeastern Sicilian hinterland, at dawn on Saturday, July 10, 1943. A farmer welcomes war photojournalist Robert Capa into his farmhouse after he parachuted onto the island the night before the Allied landing. Their dialogue highlights the photographer’s strong personality and his wealth of anecdotes, shaped by firsthand experience in war zones. In the background, the farmer becomes the voice of the “thirds”—the vast mass of civilians who remain outsiders to the warring factions. Like the photographic rule suggests, these individuals demand to be brought into focus to tell another story—their own—hidden beneath the Grand Historical Narrative.

21) Savage in Limbo

First premiering in 1985, SAVAGE IN LIMBO has become one of John Patrick Shanley’s most enduring works. Set in a dive bar, the play follows a group, restless and trapped, searching for meaning, identity, and a way forward. Through Shanley’s sharp dialogue, humor, and raw emotional honesty, the characters wrestle with ambition, frustration, love, and the universal fear of not knowing if you can be more than the person you are.

Blending storytelling and stand-up, past and present collide in this tale of hijinks and resistance celebrating the ordinary people still shaping history.

Featuring over forty black and white and color works spanning seven decades, the exhibition brings into view one of the most enduring and consequential bodies of work devoted to the African diaspora in contemporary photography. Across generations and continents, Higgins has undertaken a sustained visual reckoning with history, identity, and inheritance, creating a record that restores presence where it has been obscured and asserts dignity where it has been denied. His photographs stand as both witness and affirmation, reclaiming the cultural and spiritual depth of Black life within the broader narrative of modern history. Shared Memories gathers this lifelong commitment into a singular statement of continuity, collective memory, pride, and authority.

32) Elements of Wonder: When Nature Becomes Art

Plan your visit to the South Street Seaport Museum to see the captivating outdoor photographic exhibition Elements of Wonder: When Nature Becomes Art which opens Wednesday, April 22, 2026, on the cobblestone streets in front of the Museum from 207–211 Water Street. The works on view are by Australian conservation and nature photographer Jon McCormack. seaportmuseum.org/wonder

In partnership with Photoville, this temporary exhibition features a selection of works from the artist’s decade-long environmental photography project that spans five continents. As you walk around the large-scale photographs you will see how the work explores the natural world at radically different scales—from microscopic mineral formations to aerial views of rivers and coastlines, revealing recurring patterns of form, structure, and movement. Through these engaging pieces, McCormack will reintroduce you to a sense of wonder and awe, and invite a slower, more attentive way of seeing.

As you move between the intimate and the immense, the quiet architecture of the natural world is revealed—its rhythms, textures, and hidden harmonies. These images ask you to pause, to look more deeply, and to remember our collective place within a living, breathing system far larger than ourselves. In attending to beauty, fragility, and interconnectedness, the work offers an invitation not only to witness the world, but to care for it.

This limited-time outdoor exhibition is free and open to all—no registration or General Admission is required. Stroll through the historic streets of the Seaport and explore the displays at your own pace.

Cherry Lane Alternative, the non-profit creative development organization, relaunches this month with a new iteration of works in progress and artist mentorships, following a six-year hiatus, under the new leadership of Mary Geerlof as Artistic Director. Founded in 1997 by Angelina Fiordellisi, Cherry Lane Alternative's mission is to support playwrights and small theater companies whose programs uplift emerging writers, enhancing our culture’s literary landscape and, consequently, the future of American drama.

Cherry Lane Alternative separated from the Cherry Lane Theatre after the venue was acquired by the indie film studio A24, allowing the Alternative to continue its cultural development into the future. Cherry Lane Alternative’s programming includes the Obie Award-winning Mentor Project, the Tongues reading series, and various programs and grants that support emerging artists and new works.

The Tongues reading series, named in honor of director Joseph Chaikin and playwright Sam Shepard’s Cherry Lane play of the same name, relaunches with a staged reading of The Demand of Avarice, written by Matthew McLachlan, directed by David Zayas Jr., and co-presented by Clayton Howe of Roxedge Entertainment.The cast stars Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winner Kyra Sedgwick (“The Closer), Owen Teague (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes), David Zayas (“Dexter”), and Screen Actor Guild Award winner Garret Dillahunt (“Raising Hope,” 12 Years a Slave). Casting is by Caparelliotis Casting / David Caparelliotis, CSA and Joe Gery. The reading will be general managed by Ampersand Theatrical Management. A reception will follow the reading. In The Demand of Avarice, the world’s three richest billionaires are kidnapped by a masked vigilante who demands a price their wealth cannot meet.

37) If I Could Go

Inspired by the ancient Irish legend of Tír na nÓg—the Land of Eternal Youth—IF I COULD GO reimagines the myth through a contemporary lens.  Set between modern-day Dublin and a crumbling mythic realm, IF I COULD GO follows Oisín, a shy bookshop clerk who escapes into fantasy worlds—until one quite literally opens for him. When Niamh, a princess from the immortal land of Tír na nÓg, reaches out across worlds in search of a hero, Oisín steps into a journey that will test his courage, his identity, and the very nature of love. As the boundaries between worlds collapse, both must confront the cost of escape versus the necessity of living fully in the present.

Blending a contemporary voice with Celtic musical influences, the show features a dynamic score of original songs and explores themes of connection, grief, and what it truly means to be brave.

38) You Got Older 

After losing both her job and her boyfriend (comes with the territory when you're dating your boss), an unmoored and unsettled Mae (Alia Shawkat) returns to her small Washington hometown to take care of her ailing father. When she unexpectedly meets a mysterious stranger, she has the startling realization that maybe the intimacy she’s been craving is easier with the unknown, rather than with her own family. Blending reality and fantasy, You Got Older reunites Obie Award winner and Pulitzer Prize finalist Clare Barron with Obie Award winner and Tony Award nominee Anne Kauffman forthis tender and darkly comic play about family, illness, and cowboys — and how to remain standing when everything you know comes crashing down around you.

In keeping with an ethical ethos, all performance tickets are offered at pay-what-you-can pricing. Suggested general admission is $35 with lower-cost and free ticket options available here. For two-and-a-half decades, choreographer Jody Sperling and her Time Lapse Dance ensemble have been creating stunning spectacles that illuminate the relationship between the human body and the natural world while reckoning with climate change realities. Since 2022, Sperling and company have been Eco-Artists-in-Residence at the New York Society for Ethical Culture, co-presenting programs that embody an ethical and ecological ethos. Shapes of Change celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Time Lapse Dance and the 150th Anniversary of the New York Society for Ethical Culture with two unique performances (come to both!) featuring a world premiere and repertory favorites at the Society’s historic Adler Hall. The world premiere piece Sea Change is a poetic reimagining of humanity's relationship with water in the wake of rising sea levels. Performed by the company’s six exquisite dancers, the dance delves into somatic experiences of submersion and conjures a misty realm between sea and sky. The work continues a decade-long collaboration between Sperling and Emmy Award-winning environmental composer Matthew Burtner. For the season, Burtner performs live and conducts The New Consort vocal ensemble to evoke a hauntingly luminous sea of sound. Program A (Friday) features two other Sperling-Burtner collaborations: Fractal Memories, originally created for the documentary Obsessed with Light, which traces the entanglement of bodies through time; and Plastic Harvest, a romp about plastic proliferations. Performance followed by a reception honoring a special guest to be announced. Program B (Saturday) features the Sperling-Burtner collaborations: Wind Rose, visualizing patterns of atmospheric disturbance; and excerpts from the visually-hypnotic Arbor, dwelling on the intimacy of trees. Saturday’s performance is followed by an artist talkback. All of these works feature transformative costumes that abstract human movement into elemental and organic forces, with the dancers appearing to conjure the oceans eddies, a growing forest, or hovering storm clouds. The company's unique style of movement draws inspiration from and furthers the art form created by dance icon Loie Fuller (1862-1928) a century ago.

Dance Festival La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club will present Alien of Extraordinary by Sun Kim Dance Theatre as part of the 21st annual La MaMa Moves! Dance Festival. Performances are April 23 and 24 at 7pm in The Ellen Stewart Theatre, 66 E. 4th Street. Tickets are $30 (general), $25 (students/seniors), with a $50 Support the Artists ticket option. Tickets are available here. Festival packages start at $45 and are available at https://ci.ovationtix.com/42/store/packages. Additionally, the first 10 tickets of each performance are $10 (limit 2 per person). Alien of Extraordinary is a dance-theatre work by Sun Kim that unpacks the emotional and bureaucratic labyrinth of the U.S. artist visa system. Inspired by the “alien of extraordinary ability” (O-1) visa and Sun’s lived experience navigating it as an immigrant and street dance artist specializing in popping, the piece examines how institutions compress complex human lives into paperwork and proof. Blending dancing, acting, live music and audience interaction, the work invites viewers to step directly into the immigrant artist’s reality—literally and imaginatively. Through vulnerability, resilience, and sharp physicality, Alien of Extraordinary creates a shared space where empathy replaces abstraction, and policy becomes personal. It is both a critique of systems that demand “extraordinary” worth and a celebration of the humanity that exceeds any form.
