Kate Berlant's incredible one-woman show includes many distinct elements: prerecorded voices, her smoking an e-cigarette, and even golden forks.


But my favorite item—and one that I tried to capture EVERY time I came across it—was the multitude of stickers that adorned nearly every surface and corner of the Connelly Theater in New York City!

Since KATE is now being performed in London (and she's recently announced on Mike Birbiglia's podcast that it will be in LA early next year!), I wanted to compile all of the photos I took of Kate's depictions in New York, from the giant one in the bathroom to the tiniest one on the electrical outlet.


Let's go!


The entrance to the theater

Two Kates on the door into the Connelly: one leaning on one leg with her arm out, the other going "huh?"

Kate's Giant eyes directly above real Kate on the Kate bench (ugh, this is quickly becoming the "gummy" gag from The Simpsons)

The wall of 5 life-size Kates that you could pose with (PHOTOGRAPHY ENCOURAGED)
