WHAT IS STAFF PICKS?
Live performances are inherently ephemeral, but some shows are more fleeting than others. Staff Picks aims to spotlight New York (and surrounding areas’) works at smaller houses with shorter runs so that more people can experience them. This effort prioritizes the unconventional but nifty, though a range of shows, venues, and styles will be represented on this site to uplift our entire artistic environment. Offering a curated guide of theater, dance, music, performance, multimedia, and other (live!) pieces, Staff Picks helps you map out your cultural diet through mini reviews, features, and video content to uplift the scrappy and diversify the arts criticism landscape. Staff Picks is made by and for artists and audiences, nourishing the roots of our ecosystem so more new works get seen and supported. Trickle up, honey!

kanishk pandey, just a lil guy, just a lil dude.
