Today marks the 10th Anniversary of the official debut of BREAD ARTS COLLECTIVE! Ten years ago, a group of actors, writers, directors, musicians, and makers came together with a simple mission: to make original work we love with people we love. Our journey would take us from urban art spaces nestled among skyscrapers to patches of earth off rural dirt roads and everywhere in between!

Over the last decade, through the feast of funding to the famine of shoe string budgets, through relocations and reunions, through the death of parents and the birth of children, through hurricanes, pandemics and uncertain times, we have continued to make the work! We wish to say THANK YOU to everyone who has touched our collective in this time; to the audience members who came to our shows, to the dozens of brilliant artists we were blessed to collaborate with, to the organizations who supported, housed and fed us along the way. You know who you are! As we embark on our next chapter, we will continue to mill the flour, knead the dough, and fire the ovens. TO THE RISING!

Bread Rising! Thanks to for the sweet press! Can’t wait to “ROAR!” again ♥️

“Roar! (Exponential)… a musicalized version of this story, written and directed by Lindsey Hope Pearlman, focuses on the triumvirate of women in the family: Hedren, her daughter Melanie Griffith, and Melanie’s daughter, Dakota Johnson. Each had their own history of traumatic film experiences as women in the film business: Alfred Hitchcock’s predations, being mauled by a lion, acting in 50 Shades of Grey, respectively.

This scrappy production employs creative flourishes to suggest wild animals (actors wearing dollops of fur) and gore (red confetti and an exquisite red sequin skull cap). It has unexpected moments of thoughtful introspection, with Katie Hartman delivering Griffith’s breathless teenage ponderings with straight-faced sincerity. Lyndsey Anderson excels as over-the-top cinematographer Jan de Bont, who takes a licking from a lion and keeps on ticking. The lamentation song by Marshall’s teenage sons, “All We Wanted Was Dirt Bikes,” is a particular stand-out. The show drags a bit, but there is something intriguing at its core.” - Nicole Serratore for
