“GROUP”
“GROUP” is a dance-film set in a men’s support group about a man’s reluctance to give himself over to the program. It is about how we need community to combat substance abuse disorder.

From inception through pandemic, Grind Arts Company has explored the intersection of theater on film, trying to discover modes through which theater can reach new audiences. Sondheim’s work has inspired choreographic-cinematographic films since our beginning, but we’ve made it our mission throughout the pandemic to explore his melodies, stories, and characters to keep this cornerstone of musical theater alive and thriving. We have more projects on the horizon that bring theater and dance into your home, and we need your help.

Congratulations CYRANO
CYRANO: A Love Letter to a Friendship By Sean Peter Drohan Directed & Choreographed by Eamon Foley Starring Adam Roberts*, Judah Frank*, and Sean Drohan Set & Projections by Jason Lee Courson Music curated by PENNYWILD WINNER! Best Set Design - Jason Lee Courson Fringe Fave - FringeNYC SoHo Playhouse
"To say that this new reworking of Cyrano is ambitious would be an understatement. In just over an hour, the play manages to be both an unforgiving mirror which invites the gay male community to look at itself, as well as a quick-witted satire of that community as well."
