The Infinite Wrench is the NY Neo-Futurists' ever-changing attempt to perform 30 original plays in about an hour. Over 1,000 weeks and 7,500 plays and counting!
The NY Neo-Futurists continue to craft new & vibrant work in The Infinite Wrench at The Second City. Dive into a bold and unpredictable fusion of theater, storytelling, and sport with the New York Neo-Futurists every Friday and Saturday. For each show, the Neos take on the challenge of performing 30 original plays in roughly an hour. Through their unconventional storytelling, they deliver quick, powerful slices of life—crafted from the ensemble's own experiences—at times funny, profound, elegant, gross, topical, irrelevant, or even downright absurd. Every show is different, and with new plays every week, they have created over 7,500 new plays!
