Max will perform in The Rope Play, a new piece by Christopher Rashee-Stevenson and collaborators, premiering at New Heat Studios. Directed by Christopher Rashee Stevenson. Performances will run July 11-27.
Combining elements of Hitchcock’s film Rope, the 1929 play Rope’s End by Patrick Hamilton, and Tennessee Williams’ short Sunburst, Stevenson and his collaborators create a re-imagined cocktail-gothic of manners, morals, and rabbit hole linguistics.
More details via the announcement on Broadway World.
As a part of In Scena! Italian Theater Festival at Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò at New York University, Max performed in a rehearsed reading of the world premiere English translation of Pelle (Skin), a new work by emerging Italian playwright Chiara Arrigoni. Thinking Theater called his Him “hilariously performed.”
After a run at last year’s Montréal Fringe (where it was nominated for Best English Production) and a one-night only New York debut at Urban Stages, Oren Safdie’s solo show Beyond Ken Dryden will run at Soulpepper Theatre in Toronto from May 15- June 1, 2025.
Tickets are now available here.

“Max Katz lives believably in each moment…[His] energy and enthusiasm remain electric throughout the one-hour running time. Katz,…an engaging storyteller…, moves back and forth with a graceful and steady fluidity. It’s beautifully performed.” – Our Theatre Voice
“Director Padraic Lillis and actor Max Katz help bring the story to life with heart-thumping, sweaty-palmed excitement.” – Glenn Sumi, The Toronto Star
“Max Katz…is filled with child-like wonder, and an infectious frenetic energy. [He] bounds around the stage relating hilarious stories of Safdie’s relationships. The text of Beyond Ken Dryden is expansive, and Katz rarely stops speaking. Yet, he never stumbles, never falters.” – Forget The Box
