Three Performances Only!
A benefit performance — every ticket helps us open our doors!
Theater 86 is thrilled to welcome you back into our new home for the next step in this exciting chapter: Anton Chekhov's wickedly funny The Dangers of Tobacco.
A nervous lecturer steps before an audience to deliver a perfectly respectable talk. Under the watchful eye of his formidable wife, he promptly loses the subject, his composure, and very nearly his mind.
In Aleksey Burago's bold two-actor interpretation, a lecture gone wrong becomes a hilarious and unexpectedly moving confession about marriage, misery, and the longing to be free.
Featuring acclaimed performers Tom Schubert and Elena Mindlina, with opera singing and live violin, this intimate theatrical pressure cooker is absurd, explosive, musical, and unmistakably human.
Three nights only. All proceeds from these performances go directly toward furthering Theater 86's buildout of our new home!

Эйнштейн и Великовский. Два гения — две судьбы.
Слава и забвение… Почему их судьбы сложились так по-разному?
Наше время требует масштабных личностей и смелых, дерзких идей.
Это спектакль о стремлении к высшей истине, о границах человеческого познания и о силе духа, способной объять Вселенную.
На сцене сталкиваются идеи, судьбы и мировоззрения, открывая новые горизонты вместе с каждым зрителем.
В РОЛЯХ:
Иммануил Великовский — Обид Абдурахманов
Альберт Эйнштейн — Наби Абдурахманов
СПЕКТАКЛЬ ИДЕТ НА РУССКОМ ЯЗЫКЕ С АНГЛИЙСКИМИ СУБТИТРАМИ.
Theater 86 is pleased to welcome ESSENCE Theatre Studio to its new stage this September for a production of Worlds in Collision, a play by Iddo Netanyahu.
Einstein and Velikovsky: one achieved worldwide fame, while the other became a figure of controversy and infamy. Why were their fates so different?
Worlds in Collision explores the limits of humanity’s pursuit of ultimate knowledge—and the price we may pay for daring to seek it. Who can possibly fathom the universe's enormous complexity? The human mind can only attempt to penetrate its mysteries.
The play is inspired by a remarkable series of real-life meetings between Professor Albert Einstein and Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky, as well as the letters and manuscripts the two men exchanged.
“A WORK OF ART—IN THE TRUEST SENSE.
A MUST-SEE.”

CAST:
Immanuel Velikovsky — Obid Abdurakhmanov
Albert Einstein — Nabi Abdurakhmanov
PERFORMED IN RUSSIAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES.
Russian Theater Lab: 8 Week Workshop for Actors
With Aleksey Burago
Join us for this 8-week workshop designed to put the principles of theater-making into practice. We will explore some of Stanislavsky’s lesser-discussed ideas, including theater ethics, ensemble work, and finding the joy of acting. Led by critically acclaimed director Aleksey Burago, this workshop examines essential questions: What does it mean to be an actor today? How can we move beyond our own clichés and develop true artistry in our work?
Selected scenes will be featured in an end-of-term presentation for an invited audience.
