About DCM26 - Marathon
At UCB Theatre, DCM26 - Marathon brings Theater for the New City into a comedy frame that still carries its downtown DNA. Founded in 1971, TNC has long operated as an off-off-Broadway institution in New York, pairing political argument with neighborhood-scale community work; its history includes 43 Obie Awards and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama. In this marathon setting, the company’s presence reads like a reminder that NYC comedy and NYC dissent have often shared the same stages. The critical point is simple: their humor tends to arrive with stakes, not just punch lines.
