WHAT IS WOODSHED COLLECTIVE?
Woodshed Collective is one of the country's premier immersive theater companies. Woodshed won the 2018 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical for its production of KPop.
Since 2006 Woodshed Collective has presented large scale theatrical events. Productions of note include Twelve Ophelias performed in McCarren Park Pool in Williamsburg; The Confidence Man adapted from Melville's novel and performed on a decommissioned steamship in the Hudson River; The Tenant adapted from the novel and film and performed in a five storey 19th Century Parish House on the Upper West Side; Empire Travel Agency, a grail quest criss-crossing Lower Manhattan, where groups of four audience members at a time hunted for the secret to the vibrancy of New York; and, most recently, KPop, an immersive musical about a fictional Korean pop factory that overtook ART/NY's theater complex on 53rd street in Manhattan.
