ROOM 15

Picture
Theater that crosses the line
Room 15 is committed to producing plays that "cross the line", with a focus on marginalized groups and individuals. We produce American classics and new plays that deal with themes of isolation and social issues.

​Room 15 Theater Group was formed after a short, site-specific run of Clifford Odets’ Golden Boy, directed by Aaron Latham in 2016. That production, presented at world famous Boxing Mecca, Gleason’s Gym, was a fundraiser for Parkinson’s. It was so well received by audiences and critics, that in 2017 it was brought back in a bigger Off-Broadway venue  with higher production value.
 
Right after Golden Boy, in 2016, Room 15 Theater Group presented its second show, ‘Orphans’ by Lyle Kessler, which featured three actors from the previous production: Alex Montaldo as Phillip, Gregg Prosser as Harold and Fady Kerko as Treat. This production was directed by Aaron Latham, assisted by Graydon Gund, and ran at The Bridge Theater (Shetler Studios) in Manhattan, for over two weeks; selling out every night.
 
The 2017 production of Odets Golden Boy, presented in collaboration with non-profit stoPD (Support and Training to Overcome Parkinson’s disease), and Shetler Studios at GK Arts Center, was Room 15’s third show, and was a fundraiser to support stoPD programs for people with Parkinson’s in New York and Los Angeles.
 
Room 15 was named after Aaron Latham’s apartment number, because that’s where everything started, back in 2015, with Alex Montaldo and Aaron Latham getting together on Thursday afternoons, for what they call Diet Coke Meetings.
