Rutabaga Story Co. produces new, fun, accessible theatre with an emphasis on visual storytelling.
NEW: Rutabaga provides a platform for emerging local artists to develop and produce their work. FUN: We create work that is as fun to work on as it is to see. Joy and entertainment are the heart of our pieces. ACCESSIBLE: All of our tickets are sold on a sliding scale in order to accommodate a range of audience members. We strive to produce work that can be enjoyed by as many people as possible. VISUAL STORYTELLING: Our original work centers around puppetry, mask, clowning, and other visual theatre traditions.
Our goals for the coming years are:
1) To add a summer performance event making us operational during all four seasons. 2) To offer workshops on devising and creating new work for adults and teens. We want to foster new theatre, and what better way that to provide classes and workshops teaching the arts of making puppets, masks, sets, and props. We also want to become the first Portland company to regularly teach the Grotowski Method of Acting. 3) And what we’re most excited about is providing a new and affordable rehearsal space for performing artists. Portland theatre is exploding right now with incredible new theatre companies, but this rapid growth has left many high and dry for space. We want to be a part of the solution.
