ABOUT THE COFFEEHOUSE CHRONICLES

Series Director: Michal Gamily

Coffeehouse Chronicles is a free, interactive, educational series exploring the history and development of Off-Off Broadway from its inception within the Village “Coffeehouse Theatres” of the 1960’s through today. Part artist portrait, part history lesson, part community forum, part creative event, it is our mission to provide a home, as did our founder Ellen Stewart, for personal and intimate engagement with art. Since 2005 La MaMa has presented more than 114 Coffeehouse Chronicles featuring personal oral accounts from artists of the day as well as conversations with present day artists who continue to work in the same bold, daring manner.

Coffeehouse Chronicles are held on one Saturday each month (September through June) from 2pm – 4pm at La MaMa. As a free program open to the public, there is no compensation for your involvement. However we believe that your unique and authentic perspective on the development of your work and understanding of theatre will enhance and deepen the audience’s understanding of off off Broadway, as well as your significant contribution to this vital community.
