We kick off our 2013 season with Let’s Talk! followed by a mixer! Let’s Talk is a fun ‘Talk and Show’ where we chat with our guests and catch a glimpse of the person behind the art, and then they will treat us to a sample of their work. Come join us and talk to our guests after in the Meet&Greet, and stay for the LuckyChaos Kickoff Mixer! We would love to talk to you about our upcoming shows and the inspiration behind them.
Talk show guests are:

We explore all mediums including scripted, experimental, improv and movement. Come checkout our shows – every 1st and 2nd weekends of the month at Salvage Vanguard Theater (Studio) – Fri/Sat 8pm and 1st Sat 10pm. “Create Art. Create Identity. Create Possibilities. Play On!”
