About the company
We believe theater must remain urgent, human, and uncompromising.
Five Evenings Theater is a New York production company working between Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway. Founded by Roman Freud and Eduard Tolokonnikov, it keeps a repertoire of bold, actor-driven plays that grow out of the European theater tradition.
We build every production around the text and the actors, because we think theater is still one of the most direct ways people can reach each other.
- Strong productions built on the text
- European and American theater traditions on one stage
- A repertoire that can keep running in New York
- Rigorous plays that hit home right away
