Nobody's Coming: Or what your friends without kids worry about at night.

Created and Performed by Tim Mele and Nicole Kontolefa

12 characters. 6 worlds. 2 people. In the timeless expanse of space, in the vast prism of life on the fringes, it’s only ever two people.

Nobody’s Coming is a nesting doll of timelines and characters groping for meaning on the fringes of experience.  Tim and Nicole invite you into a dreamscape of paleoclimatologists, stranded mountain climbers, deep space castaways, and dead-end desert dwellers. These characters (and more) are all at a tipping point groping for meaning. In each other, the stars, or in some bold action… But are they enough?

Join us on this irreverent voyage into the scattered topography of a family tree that will bear no fruit.

Bring Your Kids:

Free children's activity is available at each performance. Children 6+ are invited to join a professional teaching artist to hang out in our rehearsal space in the same building (upstairs on the 3rd floor) and participate in an art-making activity.

We are excited to be 2026 NYSCA Artist Support Grant recipients and to be performing at the historic Flamboyan Theater at the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural & Educational Center.

Accessibility:

The Clemente is currently renovating their old school building to be ADA accessible - but we can not guarantee that the theatre will be fully accessible by December. If you have specific accessibility needs please reach out to us.

This is a Studio Six Theater Company Co-Production.

Nobody's Coming is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
