Is This Thing On?

A Solo Show by Adam Bradley

Is This Thing On? is a live reminder of what only one human being, telling the truth in a room, can do.

Blending storytelling, live music, humor, and visual imagery, the show traces the arc of a voice — from a boy in the Catskills discovering something real at the piano, to the exhilarating highs of Yale, to chasing music in New York and Los Angeles — and then, almost without realizing it, letting that voice slip away.

Until grief cracks him open and he finds his way back to the thing that was always waiting.

What emerges is deeply personal: a story about identity, responsibility, and the quiet cost of compromise.

But most of all, Is This Thing On? is about the version of yourself you put down — and whether it’s ever too late to pick it back up.
