Feltman: World’s First Hot Dog at the Chain Theatre

Feltman: World’s First Hot Dog is that rarest of theatrical experiences: a solo show that feels as expansive as a Broadway epic and as intimate as a conversation with your favorite uncle over a summer meal. Michael Quinn’s performance is magnificent—funny, fierce, and achingly human. In case you are a history lover, a foodie, or someone who believes that one person’s dream can illuminate an entire nation’s story, this production at The Chain Theatre is unmissable. Get your tickets. Grab a hot dog afterward. And remember the name: Feltman.

A Deliciously Devilish Romp: “Point Loma” Serves Up Retro Horror

Manhattan Repertory Theatre has struck theatrical gold with Tim Mulligan’s wickedly entertaining “Point Loma,” a gleefully campy horror spoof that channels the best of 1950s B-movie schlock while delivering genuine scares and belly laughs in equal measure. Under Ken Wolf’s spirited direction, this off-Broadway gem transforms the intimate black box space of the Chain Theatre into a haunted playground where paranormal podcasters meet their match in a sinister San Diego hospice house.

In the Unlikely Event of an Actual Emergency at the Chain Theatre

Fear stops us from doing our art and from being the whole person we can be, but what if we were faced with an unbelievable life-threatening moment that wakes us up to our true selves? That life-threatening moment comes to life in this remarkable true story about the World Airways Flight 30 accident on January 23, 1982. The plane skidded off the end of the icy runway and into the frigid waters of Boston Harbor.

EXES The Musical Offers Cathartic Musical Reckoning

In the intimate confines of The Chain Theatre, EXES The Musical concluded its brief but incendiary New York City run with a performance that left audiences both stunned and exhilarated. This one-woman punk rock opera, created and performed by Anne DiGiovanni (performing as deegie), transforms profoundly personal journal entries into a searing examination of modern romance. With unflinching candor and disarming humor, DiGiovanni guides us through a decade of romantic misadventures that ultimately become a powerful meditation on female identity.
