Join Permafrost Collective at Mai House Studio to reflect on the year and brace ourselves for what’s to come.

Busy weekend at MHS!
Ophelia: A Prism shifts focus from Shakespeare’s Hamlet to the ingénue Ophelia- or rather, three aspects of herself. These contrasting Sister Selves (Green, Brass, and Orange) take control of the original narrative to tell their own story of Black Femme joy, oppression, and resilience.

This adapted version of Ophelia: A Prism was first workshopped at Oberlin College in 2023.

Dec 8th at 7pm. tix are free with a $20 suggested donation. RSVP in bio

💔💔 No easy way to say this. Due to sublet/contract issues, as of Dec 21, Mai House Studio will cease operations at 99 Canal St. Until then, we invite you all to make the most of this oasis that we built and take advantage of the space and collab with us — rehearse, make art, invite an audience, throw a karaoke party for an organization, buy our vegan leather couch or plants. All money raised from these collabs will help us with winding down costs.

Not sure if there’s a future for MHS beyond this, it’s dream crushing currently, but we’ll recover and let you know. Until then, thank you all for the most brilliantly creative 18 months. We are proud to have supported the artmaking + convening of hundreds of artists in such a short span of time. Thank you all for the love. If you wanna share in the comments what this space has meant, we welcome your words 🫂

We at Mai House Studio would love to wish the team of S*x and the Abbey a happy opening night! It’s been a pleasure to host the cast and production team in our space for rehearsals and to witness this beautiful show grow. The community built around this play by the brilliant Diana Ly has been a privilege to be a part of. If you haven’t purchased your ticket yet, what are you waiting for? Check out for tickets.

Basically prepare to spend all of your time at Mai House Studio next week because we have a wonderful series of readings for you!

June 12 @ 6:45pm RSVP in bio

2G and The Sống Collective present a work-in-progress reading of S*x and the Abbey, a new play by Diana Ly, directed by Emily Lyon.

The Abbey is in trouble –– and only Hrotsvit’s play can save them! The canonesses need to impress Emperor Otto (who’s visiting tonight!) with a performance… by Hrotsvit, the first western woman who ever dared to write a play. Embroiled in lustful conflicts, the stress of daily prayers, and impassioned moral arguments, can these women save Gandersheim Abbey from male takeover? Find out in this hot goss from 10th Century Saxony!
