The Exponential Festival presents and promotes theatrical performances created by New York-based artists and exhibited across Brooklyn (and now sneaking into Manhattan). We are proud to announce our third year of artists and venues. Performances will take place January 4-31 in partnership with 100 Bogart, The Brick, Chez Bushwick, The Glove, JACK, Loading Dock, The Parlour, Slipper Room, The Tank, Triskelion's Douglas Elliman Studio Theater and Muriel Schulman Theater and Vital Joint.
