HUBRIS is an independent theatre troupe committed to bringing contemporary plays to the artistic landscape in New York City. Founded by John Bateman in 2009, it quickly made a name for itself in for its dealings on lesser known playwrights and avant-garde themes. With a strong focus on straight plays, Hubris hopes to bring something new and revolutionary to the theatrical scene through local artists, actors, and creative dreamers.
