At the idyllic Watson College, the Men’s Peer Education group believe that through increased self-awareness, they can end sexual violence on campus; but when a shocking rumor surfaces, the group is shaken to the core. On the bleak English moors, two sisters and a dog dream of love and power; but the arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set all three on a strange and dangerous path. These stories unfold in SENSITIVE GUYS by MJ Kaufman and THE MOORS by Jen Silverman-- Four Letter Word's upcoming shows.
Four Letter Word was founded fall 2025 as a company by and for young theater artists. We've produced four shows already this year, most recently a sold-out reading of Marisol on October 9th, 2026 in New York City. The community’s response has been amazing - so many actors, designers, and audience members were filled with excitement for a new theater company supporting young artists launching in the city! We are so excited to continue our work at Four Letter Word bringing bold, artist-centered work to artists and audiences alike.
