FRANK's IndieGoGo Launches TODAY!
We are excited to let you know that plans are in the works for an October run of FRANK, a play by Grant Harris.
In FRANK, Harris explores American male identity and the pathology of retaliatory violence through a familiar B-Horror landscape of grave robbing, reanimation of dead tissue and heartsick teens.
When Grant Harris approached director Bree O'Connor about FRANK in late 2015, both artists were interested in understanding what compels young, white men to take up arms against their communities without getting mired in an intractable gun debate. FRANK is about the Beast Inside.
You can learn more about FRANK by visiting our IndieGoGo page. We would've honored if you would share the link or make a contribution. We would be even more excited if you would come to see us in Brooklyn this October!

NEWS! Upcoming Projects and New Collaborators!
\Incubating new work is an exercise in patience.
Meh. Who cares? Save it for the Tell-All-Muck-Raking-Making-Of-Documentary!
OK. We will. BUT... We DO have some good news!
February's reading of Frank by Grant Harris was well-received and plans are moving forward for a full production before the year is out! We will be releasing information about our production dates, fundraising campaigns, and our creative team soon. Don't miss the nail-biting fun!
And what's this about new collaborators?
A collection of amazing women who have been loosely collaborating for about 2 years have decided to create some work under the Playful Substance banner and we couldn't be more excited. These ladies are masters of devised work and consummate ensemble performers, including some of the artists that worked with us on last year's reading of SAHM's Club at Three's Brewing.
Check out the video of their latest collaboration which appeared at this year's Rebel Verses produced by Developing Artists on our WATCH STUFF page and get to know Coley Campany, Cristina Garcia Leon, Kaili Turner, Kim Rios Lin, Laura Sisskin, Lauren White, Maria Peyramure, Whitney St. Ours, Javana Mundy, Cara Yeates, Bree O'Connor and Whitney Zanardi by visiting our ABOUT page.

Coming Soon! A Public Reading of a New Play Frank by Grant Harris
Frank is a senior in high school.
Frank is a scientific genius.
Frank is bringing his best friend back from the dead.
In this coming of age horror story about the beast within us all, playwright Grant Harris re-imagines the legend of "Frankenstein". FRANK mines the fields of B-horror fun, using the comedy of adolescence to lull us into a giddy, popcorn munching mood before suddenly shoving us into a tunnel of very real terror. Behind the love, the angst, and the yearning for acceptance is an exploration of one of America's most disturbing epidemics; the school shooting.
Playful Substance's Bree O'Connor directs a public reading of Frank at Threes Brewing in Park Slope, Brooklyn on February 23, 2016. For more information check out our CONTACT link above.
Good Works Reading Series #1 Was a Great Success!
Our inaugural Good Works reading was a great success. Attendees were able to stuff themselves senseless with some amazing food from Park Slope eateries (see full list in our rotating Friends and Charitable Sponsors section below) and enjoyed a spirited evening of entertainment. All proceeds benefitted PS 118 The Maurice Sendak Community School.
But our job is not done yet!
While we juggle some other projects, plans for the next Good Works event are getting under way. Keep checking here for news!
