Proof of vaccination (either a physical copy or a picture of it) must be presented at the box office, and a face mask must be worn properly (covering the nose, mouth, and chin), or you will not be permitted to enter the theater. Additionally, The Fled Collective asks that you please stay home if you are feeling any symptoms.

The tradition of SERIALS spans over a decade, having been molded by countless alumni actors, writers, and directors who used SERIALS as their playground and artistic chemistry lab. Notable alumni of SERIALS include Jessica Darrow (Disney’s Encanto), Asia Kate Dillon (Billions, Orange is the New Black), Catya McMullen (Y: The Last Man, Everything’s Gonna Be Okay), and Jenelle Chu (Yale School of Drama, The Prodigal, Instinct, New Amsterdam).

SERIALS is a place to take uninhibited risks. It could be as serious or as silly as the artists wanted their episode to be; “going for it” was the key to a play’s survival. This late night theater madness was the true spirit of The Flea and one of the best parts of being a resident artist. Everyone who is a part of The Fled Collective today has felt the impact of SERIALS, whether they broke down barriers as a performer or simply came along for the ride.The Fled is eager to bring SERIALS back to life because it is a vital platform that has always belonged to the artists devoted to making it happen. The resident artists of the Flea, now The Fled Collective, led the charge; we wrote, directed, produced, lit, costumed, set designed, and acted in every individual episode of SERIALS ever made. We own the failures, we champion the voices, and we cherish the victories. We are ready to do it all again, bigger, bolder, and more equitable than ever before.
