Shari, a Rivers of Honey performer
The best way for a woman, and/or a transgender person, to get involved at WOW is to come to our weekly business meeting. It is there that jobs are volunteered-for and policies decided. It is also the best way to get a feel for what WOW is, how our anarchist collective functions, and who these people are that you might be working with.

As of this date, WOW meetings and most performances can be reached only by climbing 3 flights of stairs. This lack of accessibility will be corrected during our renovation, through the installation of a 24hour selfservice elevator. We deeply rue this long-time omission and it is a priority of the building renovation.

We meet every Tuesday at 6:30pm in our performance space at 59-61 East 4th Street, between the Bowery (3rd Ave) and 2nd Avenue. Ring buzzer number 6. You will be buzzed in, come on up to the 4th Floor.


Pull up a chair: As soon as you enter the circle, you can count yourself a member of the WOW collective. There are no membership dues, nor trial periods. Just show up!

As the meeting begins, it's good to let that week's facilitator know you are new. Someone will give you a brief history/summary of WOW, we'll ask you what part of the production process you'd like to be involved in (lights? publicity? acting? directing?), and we'll probably encourage you to staff a show.

Staffing is basically ushering. You show up an hour before the show begins, help to sweep the floor, fold programs, greet the audience, etc., and when the show starts, you can take any empty seat and watch the show for free. Even if this is all you'd like your commitment to WOW to be we can always use staffers, and it's a great way to get to know the people, the space, and to see some niftyrad performance!
