#LEAR

This is Shakespeare's immortal tale of madness, betrayal, and the lust for power.

Set in modern-day Los Angeles, #LEAR tells the story of an aging reality TV star and former mobster, desperately trying to hide his worsening dementia. A young schemer, obsessed by fame and fortune, plots to take over the gangs still running Lear's lucrative illicit enterprises, while the retiring patriarch's family and entourage tear each other apart over greed and power.

#LEAR is the opening work in DMTheatrics' new project, a global theater that will play to a worldwide audience.

DONATE DMTheatrics is a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization via Fractured Atlas, a public charity through which small, independent arts companies such as DM can take advantage of public funding for the arts. Donations to DMTheatrics via Fractured Atlas are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

BECOME A PATRON DMTheatrics now has a Patreon account. Monthly expenses such as rehearsals, printed materials, transportation, and office expenses, add up quickly, especially in an expensive city like New York. To help defray the costs of DM's monthly expenditures, and to ensure we can mount both #LEAR and future projects, consider pledging as little as $10 a month via Patreon. All Patreon subscribers will receive rewards, including early access to finished productions and rough cuts, demos of original scores and music, personalized cast messages, and exclusive posters, playbills, and even bespoke vinyl picture discs. Even a little bit of help goes a long way -- click the Patreon image below to access our page and pledge today.
