OUTSIDE THE BIG BOX PRODUCTIONS

We believe that theater and music can
unite to educate and entertain. We create musical theater that uses
wit and truth to illuminate the most important issues facing our
society. Theater should address the profound inequality in our
nation and in the world. And humor is a powerful tool in the face of
injustice.
Grassroots, collaborative art can save us from the
abyss of commercialism that threatens to rob us of our souls and
creativity. As performers, directors, and writers, we believe in the
innate ability of human beings to reach their full potential. We
provide opportunities for artists to join us in creating theater
that poses a hope for a better world. We respect the labor of
theater-the actors, directors, designers, and technicians who make
it happen. We also respect the intelligence of audiences, who do not
need to be spoon fed ideology.
Our current work, Walmartopia,
looks at the effects of unbridled capitalism on the workers of the
world's largest corporation and uses humor to poke fun at the
powerful titans who shape our nation's destiny. It asks,"What if one
corporation controlled the world?"
