Chronicling a father’s loss of his daughter by suicide, Bent Through Glass, a new play written and performed by Alex Koltchak, will be staged for twenty-two performances from April 1-25, 2026, at The 30th Street Theater, 259 West 30th Street, New York, NY 10001. Michael Sladek directs.

Equally heart-breaking, raw, and hopeful, Bent Through Glass is a father’s chronicle detailing the loss of his daughter by suicide. As he navigates through the remnants with his surviving family, his story raises awareness while depicting the redemptive properties of love. Drawing on his background as an actor and comedian, Koltchak threads moments of wry, unexpected humor that arise naturally from the depths of his grief.

“For me, in the cratered landscape of my grief, love magnified, and transformed,” shared Koltchak. “Each memory of Parker turned into a beam of light, refracted through the darkness; proving that our connections transcend the moment of goodbye.”

Performances for Bent Through Glass are Mondays through Saturdays at 7:00 p.m.

The runtime is 80 minutes with no intermission.

General admission tickets are $59.00 (includes fees). For tickets and more information, visit BentThroughGlass.com.
