The Theater Underground w/ Adult Film

We sit down with Ryan Czerwonko and David Garelik of Adult Film, a trailblazing theater company and artistic training center thriving out of a Bushwick basement. Known for their hyper-intimate performances that blur the line between artist and audience, Adult Film is redefining what indie theater looks like in New York. We dive deep into their process of building a community many established theaters envy, their artistic values, and how they’ve crafted a safe space for creativity in a challenging industry. Whether you’re an artist seeking new ways to take ownership of your work or just curious about this raw and intimate movement reshaping NYC’s theater scene, this episode is not to be missed! Listen now and get inspired by the brilliance happening beneath the surface of the city’s creative underground.
