The Co-Op Theatre East believes in the power of art to foster a dialogue for social change. We provide an entertaining performance forum in which to ask evocative, challenging questions of artists and audiences on our way to creating collaborative answers.

Introducing COTE Tales!

Co-Op Theatre East has started a new monthly play reading series, entitled COTE Tales!

The series will commence on January 18, 7 p.m. at Kafffe 1668 (275 Greenwich Street in Tribeca) with three short plays examining the effects of transitions on families, loved ones, and enemies in both times of war and peace.

Presented will be:

- Undertaking by Rob Florence: two brothers argue over the rights of burial while confronting their own buried sibling rivalries;

- To The Death of My Own Family by David Meth: a young Afghan woman must come to terms with a trip home that changed the shape of her family forever; and,

- Was by Jami Brandli: examining the blood ties between soldiers on opposite sides of the fighting line.
