Tony Award-nominated and five-time Obie Award-winning theater company Clubbed Thumb have announced their programming for early 2021, including a short documentary series and their sixth annual Winterworks.

Clubbed Thumb Directing Fellowship alumnae Kate Eminger, Kate Hopkins and Caitlin Sullivan have created a short documentary series titled Eat Your Feelings. The videos follow various Clubbed Thumb artists exploring the East Village, then cooking a meal for themselves and loved ones. The series also highlights the work of a local nonprofit addressing food insecurity, EV LOVES NYC.

Directed by Hopkins and Eminger, episodes one and two are both available to stream now and feature actress Crystal Finn and her daughter Delphina, and actor Chinaza Uche and his partner Caitlin Zoz, respectively. Episode three premieres next week and features costume designer Mel Ng.

The series can be watched on Clubbed Thumb’s YouTube Channel here.

Also starting this week, Clubbed Thumb will present Winterworks 2021, featuring short projects from the 2020/21 Directing Fellows.  These projects will be presented in various formats, both in-person and virtually. The line-up includes Temporary Occupant by Rachel Gita Karp, Roost by Joan Sergay, Untitled Theatrical Tour of Williamsburg by Estefania Fadul, Climate Meditation by Nana Dakin and A Portal by Arpita Mukherjee.

Full details of the work, which is free to attend or view, can be found online here.
