Founded in 2018 by Kyle Driggs and Andrea Murillo, 3AM Theatre was born from a shared fascination of physical storytelling, innovative stage design, and the lighting states often found in early morning hours. Drawing on their shared backgrounds in modern dance and contemporary circus, they began exploring how these disciplines could dissolve boundaries and create transformative experiences.

Their journey began in Philadelphia, where late-night rehearsals and technical experiments shaped a vision of performance that defies genre. Their first work, The Graveyard Slot, drew inspiration from overlooked late-night television- an often forgotten hour of programming that, for them, became a portal into another state of mind and a point of focus they sought to bring to life on stage.

Following The Graveyard Slot, Kyle Driggs and Andrea Murillo began developing Eventide, which became the company’s central focus for the next four years. The piece evolved through multiple iterations and toured nationally and internationally, with performances in Chicago, Guadalajara, Philadelphia, and Maine.

At its heart, Eventide tells the story of a couple navigating a pivotal night in their relationship—combining juggling, aerial performance, humor, and intimacy to explore the fragility and resilience of human connection.

3AM Theatre reached a turning point in 2023. Co-founder Andrea Murillo concluded her collaboration with the company, while 3AM broadened its team and inaugurated a venue in Queens, NY, establishing a home base for its creative work.

The new venue marked the beginning of a more expansive phase for 3AM. It provided a home for rehearsals, residencies, and in-house productions, while also opening its doors to visiting artists and local audiences. This shift transformed 3AM from a touring ensemble into a hybrid company and venue—rooted in New York City while continuing to tour work nationally and internationally.

In 2024, 3AM welcomed Logan Kerr and Book Kennison into its core team, further strengthening the company’s creative and production capacity.

Beginning September 1st 2025, 3AM will expand its facilities with the opening of a new studio directly adjacent to it’s existing venue. Dedicated to classes, workshops, and professional development, the studio is designed to broaden opportunities for artistic practice and exchange.

Together, the theatre and studio establish a stronger foundation for collaboration and community in Queens, advancing an ecosystem where contemporary circus, dance, and theatre can continue to evolve.
