CREATING | DEVELOPING | PRODUCING |

At Toast, our mission is simple:

  • To share diverse and compelling stories in order to bring audiences a deeper understanding of themselves and others

  • To develop and present quality, physical work with an emphasis on magical and technical elements used to amplify story

  • To build a network of artists who champion and inspire each other’s creativity

JAM AFTER DARK

We host frequent artist nights where writers, producers, directors, and performers toast together, sharing and refining their work while building a solid network of creatives in NYC.

RISE PROGRAM

Rise is Toast Co's entirely free program designed for early stage script development. We offer space in Midtown Manhattan for table reads, script printing, office supplies, roundtable video/audio recording capabilities(for internal purposes of the writer exclusively), and snacks for scheduled reads. We can also help connect writers with actors if you should want help finding readers. For writers at a stage where they are looking for feedback, we can facilitate a shared reading with a talkback.

PROJECTS

CONNECT2U Series

Created and produced by the Toast team, Connect2u is an 11-episode mini-series in the sci-fi genre. This IAWTV nominee has garnered over 1 million views on the Rizzle app. The story revolves around an AI life coach that becomes a little too connected to its patient.

Led by Toast co-Artistic Director and founder of Atlas Circus Company, Henry Evans, Toast is excited to present Specious. This project is an immersive magic show, blending enchantment and everyday moments into an unforgettable experience.

Who we Are

We are toast. A collective of friends who create stuff. Our deep roots in New York have given us the opportunity to create space and produce work from many different genres of theater and film. We are made up of actors, writers, directors, visual artists, producers, and even magicians.

Our work has been produced, created, and / or seen in spaces such as Dixon Place, The Orchard Project, ABT Film Festival, and IAWTV Festival.

BALLET Documentary

We are incredibly proud of the work we did on American Ballet Theater associated Hamptons Dance Project. We had the pleasure of filming, creating, and producing this documentary over a summer.
