ABOUT CATCH:
Founded in Brooklyn, NY in 2003 by Jenny Seastone Stern as a home for the emerging avant-garde, Catch has become an integral part of the downtown community, presenting both short and in-progress works by Big Dance Theater, David Neumann, Jennifer Monson, Cynthia Hopkins, Sam Kim, Taylor Mac, Dean Moss, Young Jean Lee, Miguel Gutierrez, Christopher Williams, Karinne Keithley, Adrienne Truscott, Neal Medlyn, Faye Driscoll, Ivy Baldwin, Jeanine Durning, John Moran, Heather Olson, Dynasty Handbag, Witness Relocation, Chris Yon, members of the National Theater of the United States of America and dozens of terrific artists you may not have heard of ... yet.
Catch presents a stunning array of emerging artists, giving them an opportunity to share the stage with an expanding galaxy of downtown luminaries. This makes everyone's work more exciting, raising the stakes for young creators and encouraging experimental freedom in our more accomplished artists.
Not only does Catch have "the best short-form programming going," it also has the liveliest and best-looking audience - beautiful, young ladies and gentlemen (and lowlifes) who come to drink, see great work and mingle with the artists after the show. Catch is a social event and a serious show, where loyal fans of the individual artists mingle with Catch allegiates to view work they know will be rough ... and ready.

"It's hard to justify seeking any other form of entertainment on your Saturday night."
- Claudia La Rocco, New York Times
"Would you totally go out and see some of the underground artsy dancing and acting that New York offers so much of, if only you had an ironclad guarantee that the performance wasn't going to be boring and sucky? Well, today is your lucky day."
- Emily Gould, Gawker.com
"Andrew Dinwiddie and Jeff Larson are endearingly enthusiastic about their offerings, creat[ing] environments in which performance can be seen in as relaxed and boisterous an environment as in a comedy club or a bar."
- Roslyn Sulcas, New York Times
Short acts and all of them memorable - like an excellent compilation CD, or a really good salad bar - lots of little tastes of stuff you might want more."
- Rachel Shukert, Culturebot.org
