STORIES OF ALIENATION AND RECONCILIATION
UP NEXT AT SEA DOG THEATER
A CHRISTMAS SALON -
AN EVENING OF MUSIC, STORIES AND PLAYS
Saturday, December 13 @ 7 PM EST
209 E 16th St, New York, NY 10003
As the year draws to a close, Sea Dog Theater presents A Christmas Salon — an intimate evening of songs, stories, and short plays. This gathering welcomes all to share in the beauty and depth of the season through performances by Sea Dog’s community of artists.
Steeped in the Christmas spirit and open to all who seek beauty and belonging, the evening celebrates light in the midst of darkness, hope renewed, and the creative spark that connects us across belief and background. Together, we’ll raise a glass and toast to new beginnings — to the grace of endings, and the promise of what’s to come.
At Sea Dog Theater, we gather around stories, shared meals, and honest conversations to explore questions of alienation and reconciliation. Through intimate and innovative theater productions, we invite artists and audiences into a shared search for meaning, one encounter at a time.
SUPPORT US
WHEN YOU BECOME A SUSTAINING MEMBER, YOU’RE SUPPORTING:
Extended Hospitality: We turn ordinary spaces into places of shared presence and care. Our post-show gatherings offer food, wine, and intentional conversations that invite honest reflection. We share stories and create space to linger, nurturing a sense of belonging.
Attentive Listening: We value the unscripted, the hesitant, the rough and the unfinished. We listen with openness, welcome new ideas, and honor the stories our artists and audiences carry, both in the creative process and in conversations after.
Reparative Reconciliation: We name what’s been broken. Through our plays and conversations, we explore how alienation takes root, naming injustice, acknowledging complicity, and inviting one another into the work of repair and reconciliation. While not always synonymous, we remain committed to both whenever possible.
Courageous Collaboration: We step into discomfort: artistically, relationally, and philosophically. We choose work and collaborators that stretch us, challenge assumptions, and open us to new perspectives.
Creative Renewal: We rehumanize what has been cast aside. We honor the small, the struggling, the unexpected, and the unseen—trusting that beauty takes root in the most unlikely places.
