Stolen Chair

Called “Ingenious” by The New York Times, “Innovative” by TimeOutNY, and “Captivating” by The Huffington Post, Stolen Chair creates original works of theatre that are playful, stylish, and textually acrobatic. We refuse to draw the line between high art and great entertainment or between thinking and feeling. We are New York’s only company committed to the collaboration between a playwright and a director, Stolen Chair’s co-founders and co-artistic directors Kiran Rikhye and Jon Stancato. Stolen Chair’s previous 15 original works include The Man Who Laughs (Drama Desk “Unique Theatrical Experience,” “Outstanding Music in a Play,” and “Outstanding Lighting Design” nominations), The Bachelors’ Tea Party, Kinderspiel, Theatre is Dead & So Are You, and Potion. Stolen Chair is supported, in part, by public funds from NYSCA and The Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York’s Nancy Quinn Fund.
