We're so excited to bring you a modern, mythical lineup this spring!

RSVP NOW

First up, on Saturday, 3/20 at 7pm:  ​Clyt; Or, The Bathtub Play by Elisabeth Giffin Speckman Clytemnestra has always felt a bit overshadowed, whether by her sister, Helen, her husband, or her children. She often finds solace while alone in her bath, but when her sister's abduction leads to unspeakable events, Clytemnestra's life is forever altered. A modern, feminist exploration of Clytemnestra's tale, Clyt; or, The Bathtub Play is a darkly comedic, lyrical love letter to one of mythology's most misunderstood women. ​

We managed to have a busy 2020, befitting a company that turned 5!

Here's to the sun setting on 2020, and the horizon of 2021.  Cheers, folks! -The TSR Team

From late March through late June, The Skeleton Rep(resents) conceived of, developed, shot, and released the first three parts of their mega myth,
"The Great Vanishing."

In an alternate reality where CoVid hasn't happened, the world's most ancient monuments have started disappearing. No one seems to know what is happening to them. When people seem to start disappearing too, everyone becomes affected.
This is The Great Vanishing.

The project utilized the talents of 45 writers and actors, a team helmed by
-one universal script editor, Emily Claire Schmitt
-one universal film editor, Nora De Broder
-an original composition from Emily Rose Simons
-and creator/producer Ria T. DiLullo  

All development, filming and editing took place during the initial isolation of the spring of 2020.

The Skeleton Rep(resents) is 5 years old this summer!

In August of 2015, we were in the midst of our first production, a reimagining of the biblical Song of Solomon featuring King Solomon's love interest - named Lilith - set on the LES of NYC in the late 1970s.
Footage from that performance can be viewed here.

Since then, we have continued to develop new works in adherence with our vision, to explore modern myth.  This mission has taken us from a suburban teenager's living room where a minotaur becomes her boyfriend/father/friend to a team of dominatrixes just trying to do their job in the wake of the 2016 election.  Not to mention the absolutely unbelievable, inevitable, and deeply explorable in-between. 

I, Ria T. DiLullo, artistic director of The Skeleton Rep(resents), am beyond proud of the work accomplished by the scores of artists, witnessed by hundreds of audience members, in a dozen locations, over the last five years.  

Thank you for traveling to each other's apartments, performing in unlikely corners, committing to great storytelling, being bold and believing in your size, scope, and capability.  TSR wouldn't be what it is without you.

It is my hope that our 10-year anniversary may be celebrated with pomp and circumstance- in person, bold, and bright.  But until then, I commit to creating new works, regardless of the limits imposed upon us. After all, every great creator need a boundary to push against, and I am excited to see what creations arise in the face of our near future. 

With commitment, devotion, and a whole lot of love-
Ria T. DiLullo & the Mission to Explore Modern Myth

All lives will not matter until black lives matter.

The Great Vanishing tracks the lives of a diverse group of citizens - scientists, teachers, artists, students, youtubers and more - who wake up one day to learn that the Great Pyramid at Giza has disappeared without a trace. ​
