Description

by Taylor Mac  

directed by Mylo Cardona

Following 2024’s production of Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus, OTP returns to the category-defying work of Taylor Mac with The Fre, in which a lone Hero searches for order in a society that worships impulse. 

Part mud-riot, part rave, The Fre is a queer, all-ages play that stages polarization inside a literal ball pit, pulling the audience into a world where freedom looks like chaos, conformity hides inside collective joy, and language dissolves into play. 

The result is both liberation and collapse — a muddy reminder that freedom can unite us, but it can just as easily devour us.

Raucous, raunchy, and unexpectedly tender, The Fre explores freedom across class and tribal lines, reminding us that connection, play, and solidarity may be the only way out. 

Don’t miss this wild and generous work from a contemporary genius of the American theater, directed by Mylo Cardona.
