23.5° Tilt Theater Company was co-founded in 2021 by Elizagrace Madrone and Kate Pressman to create rigorous, independent theater at a slow, human pace. Tilt’s productions integrate analog technologies into live performance, building theatrical stories out of the tools we have in the spaces we’re in.
Over 2026-2027, 23.5° Tilt Theater Company is developing 2 new works:
long road home is a live solo show with an old TV monitor & a dashcam road trip through the American west. Why is time so slimy when you’re grieving? Is it the tomatoes? How many tomatoes can you can while you’re trying not to think about it? Written & filmed by Elizagrace Madrone; directed by Ilana Khanin; video, sound, & projection design by Skye Mahaffie; props & production design by Kate Pressman.
untitled kaiju project combines 3D & 2D pen & ink paper puppetry, human actors, & live cinema. It's a monster movie and the making of a monster movie, all at once live on stage. Nobody wants to be the one who calls hold, we’ve played god, we’ve gone too far, & the play must go on. Story & puppets designed by Kate Pressman; directed by Velani Dibba; dramaturgy & creative producing by Elizagrace Madrone.
