Candy 4 Breakfast is a theater collective that consists of playwright Catherine Weingarten and director Ben Stockman. They met at Ohio University's MFA theater program and realized they both were into fun, trashy comedic plays with a weird twist.
Their programming consists of a mix of trashy readings, staged readings and productions. They strive to make plays for NYC audiences that are a bit too fun to be real theater! Mission Statement Candy 4 Breakfast makes unapologetically girly comedy for the theater. We seek to redefine the concept of “trashy” art into something radically accessible and shamelessly fun! We believe that theater doesn’t need to be highbrow, preachy, or mansplain-y to be nourishing and worthwhile. Watching our plays is like eating three extra fat chocolate bars at 8 AM: it may not be something you brag about later, but in the moment it makes you feel like you’re indulging the secret, appalling brat you always knew was hiding somewhere deep down in your soul. |
