New York

<p>Navigating through life&#8217;s moments can be hard to manuever.  Whether you&#8217;re still living in the shadow of your older brother or you&#8217;re placed into a science experiment that erases your memory, it just never seems to get easier.  Can A.I. come to the rescue?  Maybe everything is just an airplane or uber ride away?  Or can we find comfort in the newly renovated LaGuardia Airport?  Any which way you drive thru life, we all know that it&#8217;s not NOT rocket science.</p>

No Ceilings Comedy

The Case of the Missing BLANK

<p>The Infinite Wrench is a dynamic, mind-bending barrage of 30 original plays that the NY Neo-Futurists try to perform within a single hour. Each play offers something different, be it funny, profound, elegant, disgusting, topical, irrelevant, terrifying, or a song. All are truthful and tackle the here-and-now, inspired by the lived experiences of the performers. With new plays and new combinations of plays every performance, The Infinite Wrench is the Neo-Futurists’ ongoing and ever-changing attempt to shift the conventions of live performance and challenge the fourth wall head-on.</p>
