Drilling Company Opens 2014 Shakespeare in the Parking Lot Season with TWELFTH NIGHT, 7/10-26
Illyria becomes the Parking Lot itself in Shakespeare in the Parking Lot's production of 'Twelfth Night,' directed by Hamilton Clancy, to be presented by The Drilling Company from July 10 to 26 in the Municipal Parking Lot at the corner of Ludlow and Broome Streets.
The production is an homage to the Parking Lot, which is the Lower East Side's most famous Shakespeare venue and has been covered by media throughout the world for its uniqueness. The scruffy urban acre has been home to Shakespeare in the Parking Lot for two decades but is scheduled to be swallowed up when the long-vacant Seward Park Urban Renewal Area gives way to Essex Crossing, a giant mixed-used development, capping a half century of 'progress' since the city laid the groundwork for the megaproject by demolishing the tenement homes of 1,800 Lower East Side families.
Special Free Memorial Day Performances of HAMLET in Bryant Park Moved Due to Weather, 5/26-31
Rain has so far prevented Bryant Park Corporation and The Drilling Company's Shakespeare in the Parking Lot from presenting 'Hamlet' under the stars this Holiday Weekend in Bryant Park. So a special performance has been set for Monday, May 26 at 7:00 PM, when excellent weather is now in the forecast. The public is invited to savor Shakespeare's best-known tragedy as the holiday weekend draws to a close.

Drilling Company Presents HOME OF THE GREAT PECAN 1/20-2/6
The Drilling Company, known for its short play projects and downtown Shakespeare in the PArking Lot, now in its 11th season, will premiere a hilarious new comedy from longtime collabortator Stephen Bittrich. Opening January 20th and running until February 6th, Thursday - Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., at The Drilling Company Theatre, 236 West 78th Street on the third floor, between Amsterdam and Broadway, just 1 block south of the 1 train at 79th Street.
The Drilling Company Brings Back RESERVOIR, 1/6-16
To share an outstanding play of its 2010-2011 season with the widest possible audience, The Drilling Company will mount a return engagement of 'Reservoir' by Eric Henry Sanders from January 6 to 16, 2011. The play is a highly-charged, explosive new work that reveals how the tragedy of a distant war seethes within us. Buchner's 'Woyzeck' is re-imagined as the unsettling homecoming of a Mideastern War veteran--a lowly truck mechanic with PTSD. Sanders peers into the souls of the soldier, his Staff Sergeant, his military psychiatrist (a woman), his closest buddy from overseas who is now serving with him stateside, and his girlfriend who is mother of his infant son. Hamilton Clancy directs. The plain-spoken, powerful drama hits with the force of a mass outcry in our war-weary age. The Drilling Company presented the play's world premiere run from November 4 to 21, 2010.
