Purgatory is an intimate bi-monthly reading series, with six performances a year. This event is an exclusive opportunity for select individuals to watch new, original works by emerging writers undergoing development by Telos Ensemble for the stage and screen, performed by professional actors. The series is an informal, limited seating gathering where Telos Ensemble members will read works and engage in a dialogue with attendees.

 

Purgatory was launched in December 2024 at the PRIV.Y Gallery in Lower Manhattan,

with one of the pieces featured subsequently selected for the Chain Theatre’s One-Act Festival 2025. Telos Ensemble's international debut was a Purgatory performance in London in April 2025.
