Inferno will present Bitcoin Bad Boy, a new comedy written by Ben Schiller and directed by Meg Gomez-Campbell, from Oct. 15–25, 2026. The production runs for 12 performances as part of the Factory Series at the Chain Theatre, located at 312 W. 36th Street in Midtown Manhattan.
The 90-minute play follows Charlie Schwagg, a crypto coder released from prison who attends the Bitcoin World conference in Las Vegas. Over the course of a week, Charlie faces pressure from his brother to launch a memecoin while the federal government’s Crypto Czar attempts to recruit him.
Meg Gomez-Campbell directs a cast that includes Chris Chene, Jack Orrico, Gloria Jung, Jonathan Curelop, Dennis Brito, Kelechi Udenkwo, Gianna Hoffman, Cianna Castro, and Annie Conolly. Previews begin Oct. 15 at 7 p.m., followed by opening night on Oct. 16 at 7 p.m., with subsequent evening shows at 7 p.m. and matinees at 2 p.m. on Oct. 18, 24, and 25.
General admission tickets cost $50 for the 90-minute show, which runs without an intermission. Ticket purchases and reservations can be completed directly through the official ticketing platform.
Playwright Ben Schiller previously served as a staff writer at Fast Company and spent six years as managing editor at CoinDesk. Bitcoin Bad Boy serves as the sequel to his 2024 play Happenstance and was developed through workshop readings in Las Vegas and Miami earlier in 2026.
