Booking InquiriesAbout the show
Free your mind
In 1999, a movie changed the way we see the "real world" forever. Five actors and two musical Foley artists perform a live, shot-for-shot parody of that movie in under an hour. A thrilling, imaginative, and gloriously stupid evening delivered in Recent Cutbacks' trademark blend of high-octane physical comedy and lo-fi special effects.
Unfortunately, no one can be told what There Is No Spoon is... You have to see it for yourself. The show premiered at Brooklyn Art Haus in spring 2026. Stay tuned for what's next.
