Partner with Us for a Workshop

Picture
We believe that story is a powerful tool for fostering connection, and that when one person shares their story, it empowers others to do the same. We lead and participate in community events and workshops on thematic topics related to our plays, and on the theatre's role in helping us to forge connections with one another around issues of identity and community. Recently, we've lead workshops and story slams that help people explore their relationships to their jobs and the ways they wish they could connect with others. To collaborate with us on a workshop, please contact us.

Listen to Our Original Play, "Big Work"

Picture
Big Work weaves together verbatim excerpts of interviews with 17 strangers into a modern day meditation on the American Dream and how we define success and ourselves in the 21st century. Portraits of these real people reveal the rich inner lives we all lead, and beckon us to explore what questions we should be asking in order to truly know one another.

The original cast audio performance of Big Work is available on iTunes (under Audiobooks), Audible, and Amazon.com.

We Write and Tell True Stories to Foster Connection

Picture
Our mission is to foster understanding, empathy, and human connection through theatre that explores uncommon human experiences, and to tell entertaining, compelling true stories. We create and perform new theatre pieces based on research and interviews with real people. Sometimes we perform our plays live in traditional theatres or untraditional community spaces. Other times we share our shows as audio dramas, updating the radio play genre for the podcasting era, and allowing more people to experience these stories. Throughout the year, we can be found in various stages of creating new theatrical work: researching, interviewing, writing, and workshopping new pieces.
