After Us at The Circle Festival
October 26 – November 15, 2026 – AMT Theater, New York City
After Us makes its Off-Broadway debut as an Official Main Stage Selection of the 2026 Circle Festival. Produced by RJ Theatre Company in collaboration with The Actor Launchpad, the festival is a premier destination for "bold, intimate storytelling" that strips theater to its core.
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Founded on the principle of "a room, an audience, and the courage to make something real," the Circle Festival offers an audacious alternative to the polish of mainstream Broadway. Influenced by European fringe traditions and Off-Broadway experimentation, the festival creates a "space of radical trust" where raw talent and powerful narratives take center stage.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE
As part of the Fall Season, After Us will lead a three-week residency at the AMT Theater. This high-stakes environment is designed for "unvarnished performances" that are as gripping as they are honest—the perfect home for the psychological excavation of this play.
Total Run: 3 Weeks
Venue: AMT Theater (Off-Broadway)
The Mission: Stripping away elaborate sets to focus on "supremely real" human experiences.
THE $33,000 PRODUCTION FUND
To bring After Us to the AMT Theater this fall, we are raising a total production budget of $33,000. These funds are managed through our partnership with RJ Theatre Company and cover the full spectrum of a professional premiere— covering everything from artist fees to marketing assets, ensuring our collaborators are compensated in advance of rehearsals.
Phase 1: The Activation Goal ($3,300) — Due Late June
Reaching this 10% milestone officially activates our agreement with The Circle Festival, securing our three-week performance run from October 26 through November 15.
