#serials@theflea to Begin Fifth Run on December 1 at The Flea Theater
The Flea Theater will offer a fifth cycle of its #serials@theflea, to run Thursdays-Saturdays at 11pm, December 1-17.

Calvert, Jonathan Caren, Dylan Dawson, Lila Feinberg, Halley Feiffer, Edith Freni, Jonathan Goldberg, Joshua Elias Harmon, Jessica S.
