Being fat is actually hard and we want to tell you about it. So we made a show about being fat. And there are musical numbers. Interested? We’ll tell you more. But first, we need a snack.

Lesser America is pop theater. They are an ensemble of renegade artists dedicated to smart, quality entertainment that puts the audience first, fulfilling the promise of affordable, accessible theater for the 21st century.

Lesser America was founded in 2010 by Daniel Abeles, Jonathan Blitstein, Nate Miller and Laura Ramadei. After a successful run of Blitstein’s Keep Your Baggage With You At All Times, featuring Abeles, Miller, and Ramadei, the four decided to launch an associated company and pilot their productions at Theater For the New City, where Baggage was presented. With the generous assistance of the staff and adminstrators at TNC, the burgeoning downtown theaterers share duties in producing theatrical work as part of an ongoing residency.

Ensemble members include Stephen Brackett, Craig Jorczak, Portia Krieger, Anna O’Donogue, Claire Sebers, Brendan Spieth, and Daniel Talbott.

The In-Between People began just like many great ideas do, over late night conversations with friends, family, and like-minded peers. It also began with a challenge – to prove that one person, when in the presence of another, has the innate ability to affect the other.

Founded on the belief that we each carry this potential to affect each other in the most spectacular and wonderful ways, The In-Between People uses the power of performance to look at some of life’s biggest questions, diving deep into life’s most precious moments, and unlocking the beauty within them.

They believe:

- everyone is inherently creative.
- in approaching their work through a positive lens.
- in the power of space.
- in activating the imagination.
- in celebrating community through outreach.
- in the artistry that is life.

The company is comprised entirely of creative people with creative pursuits. Their members include Nikki McCardell, Ashley Ann Pagano, Kyle Stockwell, and Andy Yanni.

AGGROCRAG makes original theater that is forged collaboratively in the rehearsal room by merging written material with improvisation. Working from an ever-expanding array of entry points – from their collaborators to the playing space to their relationship to the audience – they make work that is at once surprising and familiar.

The founding members of AGGROCRAG began making original work together during their time at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. It was in their final years at Tisch that their unique perspective on presenting new work began to take shape. Using the audience’s expectations on what a theatrical experience typically consists of, the company began to experiment with how, where and why we use theater to create lasting and engaging images, memories and feelings. Since that time, AGGROCRAG has devised 4 full-length works, 2 one-acts and a host of site-specific and event-specific pieces which have been featured throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and Philadelphia.

Company members include Tim Chawaga, Andrew Farmer, Alex Fast, Jon Herman, and Max Reuben.
