ABOUT MONK PARROTS

MONK PARROTS, INC. (dba Monk Parrots Performance) is a New York City–based, artist-led producing company dedicated to the creation of experimental theatre and music-driven performance. Led by director, playwright, and designer Luke Landric, the company develops adventurous work that engages contemporary culture and challenges conventional theatrical forms–inviting audiences to think, feel, and reflect through carefully crafted theatrical experiences that often confront questions of power, memory, and identity.

Founded in 2010, Monk Parrots collaborates with artists across disciplines and presents work in the United States and internationally. Our practice emphasizes process, experimentation, and ethical artist support, while remaining grounded in fully authored work and rigorous dramaturgy. We are committed to making ambitious new work accessible to diverse audiences in New York City, and cross-cultural exchange through international partnerships.

As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, Monk Parrots has been supported by Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, The Puffin Foundation, Venturous Theater Fund via the Tides Foundation, and other generous funders who make our projects possible.
