After three decades, Soho Rep is moving from 46 Walker to Midtown soon, to share space with Playwrights Horizons, but in the meantime, their show “Give Me Carmelita Tropicana!” has been extended here through Dec. 22 — and to rave reviews.

You can read the feature in the Times here or the review in Vulture: “Give Me Carmelita Tropicana! feels like the perfect farewell-and-godspeed to Soho Rep as we know it. The show is a trippy love letter, the kind of wily, ingenious, slightly unhinged delight that pulls back the curtain on what theater really is: simultaneously a silly game and an inherently political act in which a bunch of kids, some young, some old, try on personas like feather boas, making shit up, making a mess, making worlds.”

The final show will be a benefit for the non-profit theater.

Tribecan Victoria Meakin, who is chair of the board, said the show is a perfect sendoff. “What is sweet and special about the show is that it’s a collaboration between two incredible artists and fellow board members, Tony award-winning playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and legendary downtown performance artist Carmelita Tropicana. They met when Branden was a student in Carmelita’s class at NYU and this play is his homage to her.”

The building was sold in 2022, and according to Vulture, the move to a shared space with Playwrights Horizons was precipitated by a shove from the new landlord: “It’s exciting, though it never would have happened if Walkerspace’s old landlord hadn’t died and the building hadn’t been acquired by yet another city-devouring developer. Kind of like how the Connelly — one of the most beautiful old theaters in the East Village, with some of the most consistently compelling programming — wouldn’t be shut down and futureless if its landlord, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, hadn’t started screening the scripts a little more closely and decided that these dangerous deviant plays won’t do.”
