Next up: FURNITURE BOYS was selected for Orlando Fringe’s FestN4. Catch it on January 11 & 12 in Orlando - more info here.
In the absurd world of FURNITURE BOYS, written/performed by Emily Weitzman and directed by Rachel Resnik, boyfriends are couches, chairs, lampshades, and futons. Blending theater, comedy, clown, spoken word, and furniture showroom, FURNITURE BOYS explores how furniture endures, but boyfriends—not necessarily.
Premiered Off-Broadway at SoHo Playhouse in NYC and called by critics a “bizarre absurdist comedy” that is “weirdly poignant,” “one-of-a-kind,” "loopily, luminously charming" and “imaginative, thoughtful, playful, hilarious and relentlessly, infectiously joyous,” FURNITURE BOYS examines the immortality and the impermanence of a relationship, an artistic project, a person, a chair, a self. “Furniture,” one reviewer writes, “has never been more moving.”
FURNITURE BOYS premiered in 2024 and has been performed in:
The SoHo Playhouse Lighthouse Series Round 1, Off-Broadyway, NYC
The SoHo Playhouse Lighthouse Series Finals, Off-Broadyway, NYC
SoloCom NYC
The Island Fringe Festival, PEI, Canada
