About We Do the Same Thing Every Week
Dick and Jane are bored on a rainy Sunday afternoon. A six-foot tall cat shows up, and hijinks ensue. Later, elsewhere, Dick and Jane are bored on a rainy Sunday afternoon. A six-foot tall cat shows up, and hijinks ensue. Everywhere, space is a false vacuum waiting to decay. Try not to think about it while your boredom gnaws away at you. We Do the Same Thing Every Week is a one-act comedy about repetition, boredom, and the delicious, refreshing taste of Coca-Cola®.

About Attractive Nuisance
Attractive Nuisance is a production company focused on ambitious, ensemble-based new comedies. We experiment with form, music, movement, and puppetry to make surreal, genre-bending works for the stage.
In the Spring of 2021, we founded and produced the inaugural PRIMETIME THEATER FESTIVAL, a six-week theatrical event which culminated in a series of funny, fast-paced new plays in the style of classic multi-cam sitcoms, complete with commissioned commercial parodies and theme music. PRIMETIME THEATER helped to support over 30 early-career playwrights, directors, actors, and comedians in the creation of two original sitcom series.
In December 2022, we debuted the surrealist ensemble comedy MEAT with a two-weekend workshop production at The Tank. In the summer of 2023, we workshopped TRACY TRICERATOPS AND THE END OF HISTORY, a child-detective neo-noir musical, through a weeklong residency at Vox Lab in Hanover, NH. In 2024, we were awarded a four month residency at Prototype 237 in Paterson, NJ. This residency culminated in a workshop production of Robert’s new promenade-style comedy KATIE LAID AN EGGY in November of 2024.
