SoHo Playhouse presents the World Premiere of "Gloaming, Nowhere"

originally published: 03/14/2025

(NEW YORK, NY) -- SoHo Playhouse presents the world premiere of Gloaming, Nowhere, created and performed by J.S. Streible, with original songs by Streible, running March 12 – April 5, 2025 in a limited engagement for 23 performances in the theater's intimate Huron Room. Gloaming, Nowhere is the world's first Neo-Appalachian, Afrolachian, Southern Pop Revusical.

A rich amalgam of original music, poetry, and microfiction written and performed by artist J.S. Streible. A musical for people who don’t like musicals, and refreshing for those who do! Come be part of history in the making!

Raised in the Southern Appalachian mountains, Streible’s work embodies a rare synthesis of identities and a deep appreciation for juxtaposition—born of being a biracial man and living among white people of both extreme poverty and wealth, who all looked equally white to him.

Steeped in the storytelling tradition of Rural Appalachia and West African Griots, and fresh from a multi-state Appalachian tour, in Gloaming, Nowhere Streible, embodying the enigmatic storyteller, brings the show to life in a whimsical and moving theatrical experience.

SoHo Playhouse is located at 15 Vandam Street in New York City. Performances are Tuesdays - Saturdays at 7:00pm and matinees on Saturdays at 3:00pm. Additional show on Tuesday, March 18 at 2:00pm. Dark on March 21. Run time is approximately 85 minutes including intermission. Age recommendation: 13+ (mild offensive language, smoking, mild sexual references, gothic spiritual themes). Tickets $24.50 - $39.50 (includes fees). To purchase and for more info go to https://www.sohoplayhouse.com.

Gloaming, Nowhere is produced by Mackenzie Spivey.

J.S. Streible was born in the bosom of Atlanta, Georgia, adopted at birth and swept to be raised in the temperate rainforest of the Southern Appalachians. Growing up as a statistical unicorn ingrained in him an acute sense and appreciation for juxtaposition, inwardly in the dichotomy of a biracial existence, and outwardly as he rubbed shoulders with people living in dirt floor poverty to the wealthy with estates on the lake. Everyone looked equally white to him.

As a self-taught singer/songwriter and musician, Streible travelled across the Southeastern United States for the better part of a decade entertaining audiences from streets to sharing stages with hit songwriters and regional acts. His storytelling devices are informed by centuries of oral tradition from Appalachian Yarn-spinners to English Minstrels to West African Griots. The presentation is heavily inspired by Boston’s Brother Blue, Big Fish, Beckett, and Brothers Grimm. Streible is also a poet, completing the unreleased collection, “The Hedonist Monk;” chapbook, “Sonata for Sad Boys;” and collection in the works, “Human Beans.” He’s now distilled his talents into the Neo-Appalachian, Afrolachian, Southern Pop musical, Gloaming, Nowhere. See y’all soon!

Continuing in the spirit of the theater’s original tenant, Edward Albee and his Playwright Unit Workshop, SoHo Playhouse (Artistic Director Darren Lee Cole, Managing Director Britt Lafield) is committed to presenting the brightest and most talented artists from New York, with its Lighthouse Series, and around the world, with the International Fringe Encore Series, to give the theater-going audience of New York important stories told with unique style, and evolving what the concept of Off-Broadway Theater is in the 21st century.
