About the Under the Radar Theater Festival:

For over two decades, the Under the Radar theater festival has brought bold, risk-taking work to New York City, celebrating groundbreaking theater and performance both from around the world and from just down the street. Produced in partnership with venues across the city, the festival showcases innovative multidisciplinary artists whose work speaks powerfully to the present. UTR’s 21st season, running January 7 to January 25, convenes a lineup of more than 30 productions at 25 separate venues, including Lincoln Center, La MaMa, PSNY, New York Theater Workshop, Japan Society, and Mabou Mines. 2026 marks Under the Radar’s third year as a citywide collaboration, informed by the multiplicity of vision of our partner institutions’ artistic leaders. This season features the most exclusively Under the Radar-commissioned and produced work offered yet. 2026 also inaugurates a new leadership model in which Co-Creative Directors Meropi Peponides and Kaneza Schaal join Founder and Artistic Director Mark Russell to form the first of what will be a rotating cohort of festival curators, ensuring the festival’s programming is forever of-the-moment. The festival is produced by Thomas O. Kriegsmann and Sami Pyne of ArKtype. Find out more at utrfest.org.
