ONLINE – DARK MONDAY @ MERLIN in 2021
The year 2021 marks the 30th Anniversary of NEAT – New English American Theatre and we are currently in the middle of our eighth year of monthly DARK MONDAY shows at MERLIN.
Since 2013, we have been presenting a new show every four weeks; everything from Full Length Plays, One Act Plays (with many German and European Premieres among them), Live Radio Plays, Variety Shows, and Improv Theatre, but also evenings dedicated to Poetry and Music.
Due to Covid 19 restriction forbidding live theatre performance, NEAT has continued to present DARK MONDAY shows ONLINE on a regular monthly basis – at 20:00 hrs on the accustomed first Monday of every month.
In January, The WRITERS IN STUTTGART collective presented their traditional first DARK MONDAY of the year reading as a ZOOM performance. Beginning in February, all DARK MONDAY shows were filmed in advance and broadcast on the MERLIN YouTube channel, where they will remain accessible indefinitely and free of charge thanks to the support of the Federal Government Commisioner for Culture & Media, MERLIN Kulturzentrum and our continued collaboration with DAZ – Deutsch Amerikanisches Zentrum.
