The Flea is named Best Off-Off-Broadway Theater The Bats are the resident company of The Flea Theater. Each year over a thousand actors audition for a place in this unique company. The Bats perform in extended runs of challenging classic and new plays. Not a school, but a repertory company, the Bats also work to support all the visiting performing artists at The Flea Theater. Past Bat productions include: Benten Kozo, an Obie award winning production that played for over 6 months, Ajax (pornobody), a world premiere by Alice Tuan which played for 4 months and toured internationally, Baal by Bertolt Brecht, which also played for 4 months, two runs of Mac Wellman's Cellophane, the premiere of Len Jenkin's Like I Say and Margo Veil, the New York premiere of JABU by Elizabeth Swados, the world premiere of Screen Play by A.R. Gurney written expressly for the company, and the New York premiere of Yussef El Guindi's Back of the Throat which ran for over 6 months. The Bats have recently appeared in World Premieres by Will Eno, Adam Rapp, Julian Sheppard, Barbara Cassidy, Joseph Goodrich and Mark Greenfield. Over 20 Bats will appear this winter in Peter Handke's revolutionary classic Offending the Audience.
