Coming Saturday, January 10th at 7pm:
Actor/Comedian/ Brian Scott McFadden is one of the funniest stand up comics working in the industry today. A regular on the NY comedy club circuit, Brian has recently taken his act to a whole new level with his high energy performances & some of the most unique, incisive & hilarious routines around. After making his debut on The Late Show with David Letterman Brian followed that up with an appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS. A multidimensional performer Brian is both an accomplished stage actor, who has played Hamlet in New York, and a versatile voice over artist with a vast range of accents and character voices in his repertoire. Brian was recently seen on the big screen in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Ben Stiller & also performed in such films as Ice Age II with Ray Romano and Robots with Robin Williams & Halle Berry. Brian has just released his first live Comedy CD “What Women Want.”
Adam Oliensis has been working in comedy for longer than he wants to admit. Not just as a Stand-Up Comedian but also in acting, writing, directing, and producing for TV, theatre, film, and commercials.
In his stand-up, Adam explores the lessons in humility he’s learning from his wife and especially from his children, along with the adjustments being forced on him by being a grown-up and starting to get old. Having lived as a child in East Africa, studied martial arts in India, and languished spiritually in New Jersey, Adam is attuned to the absurdities that arise in the everyday, mining both the ironies and silliness that exist in the most humbling situations (with which he continues to gain vast experience).
Adam recently appeared on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. His debut comedy album, Aged Whine, has been played in its entirety on Sirius XM Radio 99, Raw Dog Comedy and tracks from the album are now in rotation.
Adam has recently opened for such comedy legends and luminaries as Robert Klein, Colin Quinn, Gilbert Gottfried, and Larry Miller. He performs at comedy clubs all over New York City and the surrounding area, including regularly at Gotham Comedy Club, at Levity Live, Foxwoods Resort & Casino, West Side Comedy Club, Comic Strip Live, Dangerfield's, Broadway Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, The Laugh Lounge, and Greenwich Village Comedy Club. Also at colleges, corporate & private events, synagogues, theatres, and JCCs throughout New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.
Announcing our 2026 Season!
May 22 - June 7
September 4 - 20
December 4 - 20
Three extraordinary plays. One shared journey.
Our 2026 Season brings together three modern masterpieces—Outside Mullingar, A View from the Bridge, and The Lion in Winter—works of passion, moral reckoning, wit, and ferocity, written by some of the great theatrical voices of the last century. Taken together, they form a season about love and power, inheritance and identity, and the private
battles that shape public lives.
This announcement comes on the heels of one of the most successful seasons in Schoolhouse history—marked by rave reviews, major awards recognition, and record-breaking box office. But what has mattered most to us is not growth for its own sake, but depth: deeper relationships with artists, deeper engagement with audiences, and deeper trust
between the stage and the seats just a few feet away.
For that reason, the 2026 Season is currently being offered by subscription only.
At the Schoolhouse, theater isn’t something you visit—it’s something you belong to. A subscription is an invitation into our boutique theatrical experience: an intimate room, a welcoming company, artists you come to know by name, and fellow audience members who feel less like strangers and more like family. Our subscribers don’t just attend productions; they help create the atmosphere that makes them possible.
Subscriptions offer the best seats, the best value, and first access to this remarkable season
—before any individual tickets are considered for release.
Subscriptions are on sale now.
And never fear! If you'd prefer to come to individual productions,
those tickets will be on sale soon.
Welcome home.
