An Evening with Joseph Keckler

Experience An Evening with Joseph Keckler Hailed by the New York Times as a “major vocal talent… with a trickster’s dark wit,” the American singer, musician, performing artist and writer is known for his affecting—and at times absurdist—stories and songs that balance everyday episodes with otherworldly sounds. Followed by artist talk with Tom Sellar Professor in the Practice of Dramaturgy and Dramatic Criticism at David Geffen School of Drama and Editor, Theater Magazine.

Keckler’s work has been presented by NPR Tiny Desk, Lincoln Center, Centre Pompidou, among others, and played in venues such as Hammerstein Ballroom and Ryman Auditorium as the national opener for rock group Sleater-Kinney. His story and essay collection, Dragon at the Edge of a Flat World, was published in 2018 and his writing has appeared in VICE, McSweeney’s and other publications, including Theater: Yale’s Journal of Criticism, Plays, & Reportage. He currently tours with his production, Train With No Midnight. He wrote, composed and stars in a forthcoming film, directed by Laura Terruso, and is currently working on a new EP.
