Purgatory is an intimate reading series offering audiences an exclusive opportunity to experience new, original works undergoing development by Telos Ensemble for the stage and screen, read by professional actors in a limited-seating setting. Launched in December 2024 at PRIV.Y Gallery in Manhattan, the series has since run at the Omnibus Theatre in London, Unit J in Brooklyn, Pluto's Loft in New York, Little Boxes Theater in San Francisco, and The Earl Gallery in Los Angeles (July 2026). Casting by Dorie Magowan, a New York-based casting professional whose credits include casting for You (Netflix) and Countdown (Amazon Prime) along with The Acting Company's US National Tour. Telos Ensemble is a theatre and film company operating across New York, London, and Stockholm, co-founded by Dan Blick and Mitchell Pope, who met while training in the Meisner technique under Suzanne Esper at the William Esper Studio in New York. Since its first production in 2023, the company has staged seven original works across three countries, developing new writing from the reading room to the stage to the screen. The company is led by Blick, who serves as Artistic Director and Head of Writing, and Pope, Managing Director and Head of Production, and is joined in Europe by Associate Producers Tora Hallström and Skyler Adams, both Stockholm-based and trained at the William Esper Studio. The company's debut feature film, Black Lake - written and directed by Blick, adapted from his stage play Lake George, and starring Hallström and Pope - is currently making its way through the international festival circuit following the completion of post-production in March 2026.
