We are a theatre company that started in a basement, similar to the theatre companies born in Greenwich Village in the 1960s during the Post-Modern theatre boom in the United States. We believe in making art that lives without borders, without blinders, and through a lineage of mindfulness and compassion. When we say that we make theatre on a ‘bleeding edge,’ we mean that a cutting edge wasn’t fine enough for us–we had to dig deeper into the history of who we were, dig our fingers into the depths and dirt, dive into the muck of our ancestry and wrestle with the mess of our humanity. Sometimes that looks like our privilege and sometimes that looks like our oppression depending on who is telling the story. 

We specialize in creating original, devised work that shines light on stories that might not otherwise be told, specifically stories about women, marginalized communities, fringe peoples, and demographics who are typically shunted to the side (i.e. children or the elderly). Over the last 15 years, we have focused on devised and politically keen work created by children, devised/deconstructed works that focused on historical figures, and works by original playwrights. 

Currently, we are in collaboration with the Know Theatre of Cincinnati to create theatre education that will reach the kids that normal theatre programs don’t typically hold space for.
