About the Show
Black Trashbag Magic, written by Alina Garcia-Burke and directed by Maggie Dunn, will be presented as part of the 2026 New York City Fringe Festival with FRIGID New York at The Rat NYC. After premiering at the Tucson Fringe Festival in 2019, Black Trashbag Magic is back at New York’s witchiest theatre, The Rat. Witness the 2010s tumblr-core almost-comedy that unfolds as Natalie narrates through her adolescent relationships, intent on summoning her best friend and confessing her feelings. As Natalie loses control of her narrative, memories resurface in a new light.
