This young company, established in 2009, bills itself as supplying “candy for the brain via stellar and unique theatrical productions.” It engages Madison audiences by performing in both traditional and “unlikely” venues throughout the area, offering everything from one-acts to full-length published and original plays.
In the fall of 2010, the company launched its first mainstage season while continuing to present performances in local bars and coffee shops. Recent productions have included Sam Shepard’s True West, David Sedaris’s The Santaland Diaries, and Neil LaBute’s The Mercy Seat.
