Founded in 1996 by three acclaimed theater artists—Jim Simpson, Kyle Chepulis and Mac Wellman—The Flea was formed to create “a joyful hell in a small space.” Non-institutional and resolutely non-commercial, The Flea embodies the spirit of adventure and experiment that has defined Off-Off-Broadway since its inception. As a testament to our success, we have been honored with two OBIE Awards, an Otto Award and a Drama Desk Award for Distinguished Achievement.Founded in 1996 by three acclaimed theater artists—Jim Simpson, Kyle Chepulis and Mac Wellman—The Flea was formed to create “a joyful hell in a small space.” Non-institutional and resolutely non-commercial, The Flea embodies the spirit of adventure and experiment that has defined Off-Off-Broadway since its inception.
