Blake Allen's The Ceiling - Live at LPR on Monday, October 5th, 2026
6:30 PM doors | 7:30 PM show
BLAKE ALLEN is a composer, playwright, and performer whose work moves between concert music and experimental theater, often centering queer stories and psychologically driven narratives. His music has been presented by ensembles including the New York Philharmonic, San Diego Symphony, and New Jersey Symphony, with performances at venues such as Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, and the Hollywood Bowl.
At Le Poisson Rouge, he premieres The Ceiling, a dark, claustrophobic new musical adapted from Kevin Brockmeier’s O. Henry Prize–winning story. A couple finds themselves trapped in a town where a mystical, obsidian object is slowly and inexplicably descending. There is no mechanism, no logic, and no escape. As the space tightens, time and memory begin to distort, while the outside world slips out of reach. What begins as a surreal premise turns into something more unsettling, exposing the quiet dread of inevitability and the small, human ways people try to hold onto control as it disappears. The musical leans into stillness, pressure, and dark humor ultimately asking the question “what do we hold onto when time closes in?”
