"Cosmic" at the Queens Short Play Festival Semifinals
2026-03-12 19:00 | The Secret Theatre, 10-10 44th Ave., Long Island City, NY, 11101
It’s semifinals at the Queens Short Play Festival at The Secret Theatre (! After 190 submissions, 48 short plays were produced and have been running over the past few weeks. Now, the top 16 short plays have moved on and are competing for a spot in the finals.
Among them is “Cosmic” by LIC local Kelsey Puttrich. In Cosmic, Cindy is living the dream—or so she keeps telling herself. With a handsome (enough) husband, a pristine minivan, and a well-ordered life in a quiet suburb, she’s perfectly content. Enter Annabelle: the chaotic new neighbor with a tray of brownies and zero social filter. This short play takes us on a journey of repression, desire, and what happens when someone with no filter meets someone who’s never questioned the script.
This is the best-of-the-best and a great example of theatre in Queens. Come out to support a local playwright at a local theatre, and check out “Cosmic” at The Secret Theatre.

Your Ghost Body
2026-03-13 19:00 - 2026-03-14 19:00 | The Chocolate Factory Theater, 38-33 24th Street, Long Island City, NY, 11101
Your Ghost Body is both a video game, hand-made by Syers, and an analog performance in which the audience collectively acts as the player. A memory palace in the form of a playable junkyard, its live medium is luminous radio, working the edge between sound, text, song, and projection. Its poetics come from the vestiges of afternoon TV game shows and text adventure games. Built as a way to index what remains, as psychic possession, of the landscape of childhood and adolescence, it asks what to do in middle age with a vestigial homing instinct for a place no longer inhabited. Your Ghost Body summons the figures carried in memory as a cloud of ghost bodies: past selves, selves we didn’t become, and the presences of both the dead and the still living who formed something in us. The game makes a space for a brief communion, pivoting from the author’s memories to the audience’s.
At The Chocolate Factory Theater, the game will be performed (and played) live.
Created by Karinne Keithley Syers with collaborators: Kate Benson (performer), John Gasper (performer), Aviva Jaye (performer), and Sara Walsh (designer).

MFTA Gallery: “All Night I Hear the Noise of Water Sobbing” by Mary Mattingly (Mondays – Fridays)
2026-03-19 09:30 - 2026-06-12 17:00 | Materials for the Arts, 33-00 Northern Blvd. 3rd FL, Long Island City, NY, 11101
Materials for the Arts (MFTA) presents “All Night I Hear the Noise of Water Sobbing,” a solo exhibition featuring recent work by MFTA Artist-in-Residence Mary Mattingly. As MFTA’s Artist-in-Residence, Mattingly has had unlimited access to MFTA’s warehouse of donated supplies, where she has upcycled found objects to create the installations featured in her solo exhibition. Her life-long fascination for water permeates through “All Night I Hear the Noise of Water Sobbing,” swallowing the MFTA Gallery whole and leaving its visitors to meditate on the element’s simultaneous capacity to corrode and restore our physical and internal worlds.
Colorful assemblages of objects —pitchers, books, pedestals, ceiling medallions— varying in hues and height create a vibrant tableau. Fabric butterflies, plastic lemons, animal figurines made from metal and wood depict naturalistic elements and showcase the dichotomy between natural and synthetic. Unified by the water that courses through them, these fixtures’ renewal rests within this constant stream that breathes new life into the objects. In turn, this faint trickle invites gallery visitors to pause and take time, to sit with water, listen to it, emote with it, and consider all the wisdom life’s longest partner has to share.
Mattingly’s exhibition name, “All Night I Hear the Noise of Water Sobbing,” arose from the artist’s wanderings through the MFTA warehouse where she found a collection of poems written by Alejandra Pizarnik of the same title.
Read the press release.
All Night I Hear the Noise of Water Sobbing” is on view through June 12, 2026.
The MFTA Gallery is open Mondays through Fridays from 9:30am to 4:30pm, excluding federal holidays.
