The Appointment

The Appointment (A WP Space Program Resident)
January 12 – February 4, 2023

It’s time to check in for The Appointment, the critically acclaimed and outrageous musical satire singing and dancing through the absurdity and hypocrisy of the American abortion debate. From the acclaimed company Lightning Rod Special (Underground Railroad Game), The Appointment was named to the “Best Theater of 2019” lists in The New York Times, New York Magazine, and Time Out NY.

“Using cutting humor, catchy songs, and some very lively fetuses, The Appointment unpacks the many systems that disempower groups of people from making informed reproductive decisions with hilarious, devastating, and hilariously devastating results. Returning to New York for a limited run for the first time since the overturning of Roe v Wade, this “thoughtful and profoundly imaginative show concludes in a silence that is all the more eloquent for the sound and the fury that preceded it.” – The New York Times

The WP Space Program is an initiative to offer discounted space at WP Theater’s home @ 76th and Broadway and to provide affordable producing options for our artistic community.
Our goal for the Space Program is to provide subsidized space to mission-aligned individual artists and small budget not-for-profit companies ($300,000 or less) who might otherwise not be able to produce because of the financial constraints of renting performance space.
