Diamond Mesh Inc. Presents: piss.jpg (Working Title), running July 16 – August 9: Thurs – Sat @ 8:00 PM | Sun @ 7:30 PM

NEW YORK, NY — Did we only come to realize one day that something was missing? Or did we lose it somewhere along the way? Was there nothing we could have done?

You did not stumble upon these questions. You found them. Just like you found this. And we are here to tell you—this is what you have been searching for.

This summer, Diamond Mesh Incorporated continues its takeover of the NYC theater circuit with the world premiere of piss.jpg (Working Title). Billed as “The Next Great American Drama,” this production is a defiant, two-handed explosion of Gen Z angst and absurdist humor that aims to redefine the American stage.

The Show: A Kitchen Sink Drama for the End of the World

piss.jpg (Working Title) is an hour-long romp set entirely in a kitchen. But this isn’t your grandfather’s realism. Featuring a kitchen sink that would make Arthur Miller climax and Eugene O’Neill smile, the play explores the enormity and profundity of the human condition in a way that is literally impossible to explain without risking a global economic collapse.

Written by and starring the dynamic duo of Justin Jager and Michael Gardiner, the play navigates the liminal space between existential dread and high-energy chaos.

What audiences can expect:

• Happiness & Sadness (sometimes at the same time)
• Life-Affirmation
• Laughs & Audible GASPS
• Spontaneous Dancing & Mysterious Noises
• The Clap (the good kind)
• Pure, unadulterated FUN.

The Creative Powerhouse

Directed by Daniel Yaiullo, the production is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling. The technical team brings a sharp, “cutting-edge” aesthetic to the American Theatre of Actors complex:

• Lighting Design: Sara Hansen (Designing the shadows of the Gen Z soul)
• Sound Design & Stage Management: Dot Scuotto (Crafting the sonic architecture of the kitchen-sink universe)
• Producers: Diamond Mesh Inc.
