On Monday, March 27, join Emcee André De Shields to celebrate 18 years of the TEAM at 26 Bridge in DUMBO, Brooklyn. There will be performances by TEAM artists, delicious food, and plenty of drinks. (We’re adults now, after all.) If you’re interested in sponsoring a table or have further questions, please contact Producing Director […]
Remember that time we spent 3+ years making a musical about American Capitalism? Filmmaker Paulette Douglas traveled from NY to Vegas to Europe and back with us, and the resulting documentary is finally making its NYC debut, Thursday, June 26 at 7:30pm at The Pershing Square Signature Center.
Before we arrived in London, the hashtag #MissionDrift was more likely to turn up conversation about, you know, actual mission drift. Of the organizational variety. As of June 5, however, we’ve witnessed a complete and utter hashtag takeover by our audiences at the National Theatre Shed, with overwhelmingly positive (and often profanely so) comments about […]
In June 2013, the TEAM took Mission Drift across the pond to The Shed, the National Theatre’s temporary theatrical space on the South Bank in London, where it was met with great enthusiasm and positive reviews.

Video of Recording the Heys! I am sitting on the couch being useless (or rather, getting much work done on the marketing front) while Tater bakes bread (no joke) in the kitchen and the beautiful Mission Drift cast records vocal tracks for our cast album! What a trip… It’s funny watching them carry on one-way […]
I walked through the financial district on my way to rehearsal this morning. I was struck by the architecture of risk taking: massive overhangs supported by a thread, sharp angles so jaunty as to appear arrogant. I passed a sculpture of compacted cubes of destroyed auto parts hanging from the roof of a massive skyscraper. I […]
Some things we’ve seen outside of the rehearsal room: Casinos and missiles Timeshare tours Million dollar watches The Grand Canyon (which is not in Las Vegas or NV) and rain in the desert. Some things we’ve done in the rehearsal room: We’ve had a pool party. We’ve dropped an atomic bomb on Jonathan Edwards, an […]
