WEEKENDS MAY 17 – JUNE 2

Indecent

Maryanne Kiley directs this deeply moving play inspired by the true events surrounding the controversial 1923 Broadway debut of Sholem Asch’s God of Vengeance—a play seen by some as a seminal work of Jewish culture, and by others as an act of traitorous libel. INDECENT charts the history of an incendiary drama and the path of the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it.

Putting on a Show

Volunteering

Generic Theater is a volunteer organization, so we need many hands to mount a successful production. Whether you’re a veteran designer, builder, or stage manager, or you’ve never worked on an show before, we can find a place for you. Learn more about our many volunteer opportunities and sign-up for upcoming shows. 

DIRECTIONS & PARKING

Where is the Generic Theater?

We’re literally underground — in the basement of Chrysler Hall.

Scope Garage Parking — Drive into the Scope Parking Garage, stay to the right and drive down the ramp to the bottom level (U), and follow the Generic Theater signs around the perimeter (past the exit ramp) until you reach the underground theater entrance inside the garage.

Chrysler Corner Stairwells — Starting from the fountain plaza on the west side of the building, approach the Chrysler Hall Box Office and  enter via one of the red corner doors flanking the ticketing windows (see arrows in picture), walk down the stairs to the bottom level, and follow the Generic Theater signs through the garage to the underground theater entrance.
