3AM Theatre Announces Final Residency Shows for W3AM in Astoria

3AM Theatre invites audiences to discover the gem that is W3AM, NYC’s most inventive circus variety show reimagined as a hosted live-broadcast radio program, presenting the best of contemporary performers in NYC and beyond. W3AM will be performed live at 3AM Theatre, 9-20 35th Avenue, Unit 3N, Astoria, Queens throughout April. Tickets start at $16.29 (including fees) and can be purchased here.

There’s a place in Queens, only slightly off the beaten path, where a new home for contemporary dance and circus has taken root. For three years, 3AM Theatre has been presenting work that is without category: equal parts experimental and sophisticated, approachable and thought-provoking.

Now, 3AM Theatre has settled into their first resident show, a run of their word-of-mouth hit W3AM. The evening is a variety show par excellence, with circus artists from around the world, dance by the most exciting choreographers in the city, live electronic music, and readings of mind-bending original stories. Imagine you and your friends were invited to spend the evening in a lighthouse, listening to a strange radio station, warming your feet by the fire–it’s that kind of night.

The culmination of over 10 sold-out performances of W3AM in 2025 & 2026, this month-long residency will highlight creative experimentation and genre-bending formats that will reach new heights (literally) by inviting NYC’s best performers as well as a line-up of award-winning guest artists.

“Our jewel box of a Theatre is dedicated to incubating in presenting works of circus, physical theatre, modern dance, and experimental music,” said Kyle Driggs, 3AM Theatre’s Founder & Producer “W3AM aims to present all of these art forms on one stage for new audiences who are hungry for highly developed performance. It’s worth the trip!”
