ULTIMATE

A new play by N. Kolman

Directed by Eliyana Abraham

Sunday, August 17th at 7pm, The Tank NYC


A college women's/non-binary frisbee team performs a cultish ritual to try and win Nationals. As the season continues, the team realizes that the only thing more horrifying than losing is the cost of winning. When your world shrinks down to the size of a playing field, what are you willing to do to protect it? A new play by N. Kolman, directed by Eliyana Abraham, with heart, viscera, and flying plastic.


Note: ULTIMATE is a play about a women's/non-binary frisbee team. We invite all interested performers to submit, regardless of gender identity. For all roles, the pronouns of the character need not match the pronouns of the performer playing the role.
