gimmick / trey lyford
gimmick is the producing entity that helps make the original work of theater artist trey lyford possible. With over twenty five years of experience, lyford collaborates with artists from numerous genres including: musicians, magicians, sculptors, film makers, designers, and more. In a world that retreats more and more towards screen-time isolation, live theater is a rare space for people to collectively experience what it is to be flawed, haunted, and human. The works of gimmick aim to investigate, laugh at, and celebrate what it is to live in the current American moment. Performances will engage audiences with dynamic characters, lovable idiots, and existential questions explored through absurd humor, rigorous dramaturgy and virtuosic physicality..

KOAL has toured to Philadelphia Fringe Festival - Cannonball Fest (5 Star Award), Ars Nova, Australia Theatre Fest NYC, PhysFest NYC, Celebration Barn, and Theatre Works - Melbourne. More Australia touring to come! Part climate catastrophe, part clown show—KOAL is a one-woman show for the end of the world. As wildfires tear through Australia, a baby koala, a coal miner, and an Indigenous girl desperately strive to hold onto their homes before all burns and turns to ash. PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT CATASTROPHÉ A comedic meditation on the dynamics of fear and modern life. BURN Adaptation of a classic sci-fi Novel. BOY BAND BOYZ (working title) We have begun preliminary work on a collaboration with Philadelphia based theater artists. The new work will include lots of sexy dancing, singing tight harmonies and the candid convos of a fictitious middle-aged boy band the BOY BAND BOYZ. You haven't heard of them since their smash hit Too Tender to be Touched. UNTITLED KIDS MUSICAL The songs are written, the script is there. The rights aren't. Stay tuned! There's a subway, b-boy dancing and a big mess to clean up. LOOP SOLO A one-man show using integrated analog looping to create the soundscape. |
