Full guide →When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.

The Lowdown
A young woman named Star falls off a mountain. Then she falls again. And again. By the time she lands in line at the DMV you start to suspect the falling is the plot, and you would be right.
Starstuff is a new piece from No.11 Productions, the ensemble behind Sugarcraft, and it is built the way that company builds everything: with movement, music, hand-made stage magic and the cheerful confidence of kids who have turned the backyard into a galaxy. Ryan Emmons directs. Jordan Barron, Julie Congress, Rachel Richman and Aubrey Lace Taylor do the falling, with a score by Luke Santy and visual art by Jen Neads.
Seventy minutes, no intermission, no time to check your phone. It is expressionist and a little cosmic and, underneath the whimsy, about the fairly ordinary business of figuring out who you are and who is standing next to you while you do it.
Playing Theater C at 59E59 from October 28 through November 14, 2026. First Look seats are $27 on October 28 and 29 — the cheapest way into a brand-new show all fall.
