CollectiveNY Films pours a Double Shot to kickstart summer
Two more of our award winning stage to screen films are now available: Richard Masur and Kevin Kane in Brian Leider’s quick fix / Karen Chamberlain and John Norwell in Elin Hampton’s Casey229 directed by Nick Marshall. After playing in over two dozen international festivals and winning multiple awards these two films are now available to stream. Directed by two founding members, the journey of both films from Collective Monday development to the stage at the 2nd Collective:10 to the screen epitomizes the process and collaborative effort of The Collective NY.

Our Latest Publication…
After five successful anthologies of short plays, The Collective NY announces the release of David Thigpen’s Hurricane Party, our first full length play publication—from our World Premiere production at the historic Cherry Lane Theatre in Fall 2018. The production was directed by Maria Dizzia, who said that Hurricane Party is about “saying goodbye to a world we no longer belong to.” Critics described the play as “rich with colloquialisms, dense with humanity and full of deep humor and pathos.”
A category five storm approaching Conway, South Carolina is the only thing blocking Macon and Dana’s carefully plotted escape out of town and into new lives far from the past and their spouses, Todd and Caroline. At Todd’s insistence, the four old friends batten down the hatches, pour some drinks, and attempt to enjoy a friendly throwdown while the storm passes over. With each one of the characters holding poisonous cards close to the chest, the temperature rises when two unexpected guests kick the party into overdrive, opening the door to a new set of immeasurable dangers.
As a bonus, Hurricane Party appears in this publication with two other short companion plays written by Thigpen: Tomorrow Mourning and In Wake of Yesterday.
