Meet Our
Since 1999, the Resident Program has offered an artistic home to a select group of Indie Theater Artists, pooling together a great deal of talent and energy while focusing on their individuality as independent companies.
FRIGID is home to two dozen monthly and recurring shows including open mics, improv, comedy, plays, storytelling, and more. These are shows we stand by and think you’ll love.
We are very grateful for the support we’ve received from All Arts, an Emmy-winning arts and culture hub is created by The WNET Group, the community-supported home of New York’s PBS stations.
What Our Artists Are Saying
Edu Díaz, Fulbright Alumnus and winner of Best Solo Actor (Fringe, 2024)
“I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with the FRIGID family, whose passion, professionalism, and unwavering support create a true sense of belonging. The Queerly Festival is more than just a stage—it’s a space where diverse voices are celebrated, uplifted, and heard in an empowering and familiar environment.”
Sam Blumenfeld, writer and director of Fixed: How I Got Rejected by Reality TV
“I started at Under St Marks with my sketch group Lisa in 2018. To this day I will talk to anybody who will listen about the magic of bringing a show to such a nurturing, creative, state of the art but totally timeless space. Frigid is cool like punk rock, and it’s an NYC theater institution!”
D’yan Forest, Guinness World Record holding comedian, SNL and Comedy Central performer
“I’ve been in the [New York City Fringe] festival maybe three times in the last couple of years. I always had a wonderful experience and by the last couple of shows, I had a full, happy house. Everything would go fine with the sound and the props etc. The people in charge of the venues were very capable and helped me in every way.”
Dylan Adler, writer for the Late Late Show with James Corden, Comedy Central performer
“I love Under Saint Marks Theatre so much… The open mic there every Tuesday night was truly one of my all-time favorites. It was a beautiful mixture of music, comedy, and theatre… the place where I would try out material that oftentimes felt scary or vulnerable… I’m always excited to perform there whenever I’m back in New York City.”
