The materials we perform and produce are meant to be wild and sweaty and out there, man. We dive into the weird and expect you to take the ride with us and scream with us along the way! If you're digging it of course. If not we prefer silence. I want to go to the theatre and laugh and think and get my money's worth from the actors.  Even if its free! Those bastards better be breathing hard at the end there. Losta fuckin energy and passion. That's what we bring you.
