When you have six big wheels, you channel your inner child and form a neighborhood biker gang! As much fun as we're having with them, we're so glad that after the actors are done playing with them, they'll move on to their new home at Mari's Little Lambs, a Beaverton preschool, where the kiddos will get to enjoy them too!

All of the pieces are coming together for opening night on May 1! Join us for this wickedly funny piece that takes us behind the closed doors of our perfect neighbors...

This show features hilarious and poignant performances by our actors and some fun technical challenges that have kept our tech team thinking creatively!

(We don't want to spoil the fun, so you'll have to see it in-person!)

We're very excited to share this story with you...

How Far Would You Go To Be Happy?

Join us for an evening peeking through the windows of the Jones', Johnson's, and Smith's who live in the houses right at the end of the perfect suburban cul-de-sac in your neighborhood. (Yes - that one. The one you're thinking about.)

Through magnifying and heightening the private moments of their lives, this shocking dark comedy explores the extreme measures people take to achieve their dreams—or find happiness—or find their way to what they once were.

You'll laugh at the moments of your life you recognize in theirs and be grateful for the ways in which you are nothing alike.

Since we load our set in and out of a UHaul for every performance, we have to think creatively about both set design AND how that set gets broken down easily and fits into the truck.

Woody Woodbury designed and built us this ingenious house roof awning that is two pieces (one shown in the video), light to carry, and stores flat. Our house-cage in the back room of will officially have a roof!

Cul-de-Sac opens on May 1! Tickets available on our website or via link in bio.

Our upcoming production of Cul-de-Sac needs SIX identical Big Wheel-style tricycles onstage used as props and we've partnered with Mari's Little Lambs, a daycare and preschool in Beaverton, to ensure that after our production these props will get to be enjoyed and bring joy to kids for years to come.

One donation to help us purchase these tricycles for the show doubles as a donation to both organizations!
