Our 2020 scheduled performances, from our Jim Henson Foundation Grant awarded Marooned! A Space Comedy at Baltimore Theatre Project to our Off-Broadway debut of BAROCOCO with Happenstance Theater in New York City, have been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We look forward to a future when we may all safely gather together again. In the meantime, we have been investing our creative energy and resources in our Patreon page and our YouTube channel and have been sharing updates via Facebook and Instagram. Please stop by and say hello!
