NEW! — TAM Late Night: Teller Talks!

We are thrilled to announce an exciting addition to the TAM program: an exclusive Thursday night screening of Play Dead. This "wild, wicked" (New York Times) Off-Broadway hit, written by Teller and Todd Robbins, starring Robbins and directed by Teller is now a "mind-blowing" (New York Magazine) performance film.  Watch a sophisticated New York audience turned into giggling, screaming adolescents by a magical adult spook show written by and for skeptics. The Wall Street Journal called it  "funny, furious, and wholly enthralling!" and the New York Post says it is "fiendishly frightening!"  The film will be followed by a brief Q&A with Teller himself.

And Don't Forget Penn's Private Rock & Roll, Doughnut and Bacon Party 2: Bring the Stupid!
