The Cell Theatre, nestled in the heart of New York, NY, is home to innovative performances that push artistic boundaries. Collaborating with Loading Dock Theatre and Nancy Manocherian, The Cell presents a thought-provoking synthpop musical by Leegrid Stevens, directed by Eric Paul Vitale.

Within its walls, audiences are transported into the world of "The Trojans," an original synth-wave musical where warehouse workers vividly reenact their high school glory days of the 1980s, drawing parallels to the mythic heroes of The Iliad. The production dives into the financial struggles faced by the workers, balancing youthful dreams with the harsh realities of adulthood.

Through this unique storytelling experience, The Cell Theatre explores themes of love, loyalty, and conflict, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of human relationships and societal structures. It serves as a platform for artistic expression and cultural introspection, offering a blend of entertainment and intellectual stimulation.
