TAKE ME HOME is an interactive live performance that takes place inside the mobile heart of New York City: a taxicab. Actor/driver Modesto "Flako" Jimenez transports three audience members, from a secret location, on a radical journey through the city, along streets both familiar and strange. The cab windows become eyes to a vast theatrical landscape as the streets of New York transform into an unending performance installation. Integrating live performance, sound, video and street action, TAKE ME HOME offers a captivating, dark and irreverent view of the city through an intimate and innovative theatrical experience.

Directed by Meghan Finn (The Downtown Loop, The Service Road), this performance is a completely singular theatrical experience for audiences. Exploring the relationship between cab driver and passenger, the intimate setting of the taxi allows revelations about both sides to come to light. Audiences engage interactively in various ways, as well as spying surprise performance moments on the streets.

The design team includes Stowe Nelson (sound design), Emily Blumenauer (costume design), and Robert Wuss (video design). The Production Stage Manager is Geoff Maus.

Alexandra Collier (playwright) is from Australia, now based in New York. Her plays have been developed at Sydney Theatre Company, Women's Project, New Georges, the Lark and Dixon Place. Her recent work includes WE PLAY FOR THE GODS (created with the Women's Project, Cherry Lane), and UNDERLAND (Sydney Theatre Company workshop and Page to Stage, Dixon Place).

Meghan Finn's (director) directing credits include: World Premieres of THE DOWNTOWN LOOP by Ben Gassman (3LD), THE SERVICE ROAD by Erin Courtney (Adhesive Theater Project; NY TIMES Critics' Pick), MOTEL CHERRY by Peggy Stafford (Summerworks Clubbed Thumb/New Georges at HERE Arts Center; Huffington Post Top 10 of 2012) and 3 2's; or AFAR by Mac Wellman (Dixon Place).
