"The Associates" is a group of professional New Yorkers in their 20’s through early 40’s that celebrate, support and promote theater.

EVENTS THIS YEAR:
A preview performance of Once, A New Musical at NYTW,
followed by drinks with the lead from the show, Cristin Milioti.
The creators of the acclaimed Black Watch, director John Tiffany and choreographer Steven Hoggett, join forces with playwright/screenwriter Enda Walsh (Penelope, Hunger, The Walworth Farce) to bring the hit independent film ONCE, winner of a 2007 Academy Award for the hit song “Falling Slowly,” to the stage.
On the streets of Dublin, an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant are drawn together by their shared love of music. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship and collaboration quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story, underscored by the emotionally charged music that has made ONCE an international sensation.

Special Discount price for our Associates! Only $20
A performance of Asuncion, a new play by Jesse Eisenberg, who memorably played Mark Zuckerberg, in the Oscar winning Social Network.
Edgar and Vinny are not racist. In fact, Edgar maintains a blog condemning American Imperialism and Vinny is 3/4 into a PhD in Black Studies. When a young Filipina woman named Asuncion becomes their new roommate, the pair have the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how open-minded they truly are. Jesse Eisenberg's hilarious and heartbreaking new play explores the complicated ways we exploit culture and politics for our own needs.
