The Theatre Project was established in early 2009 with the belief that growth as an actor and as a human being are synonymous. Our major emphasis is placed upon the idea that the actor is an ever-evloving human being. As an artist-driven company we are committed to developing and producing compelling theatre. In all productions, members of The Theatre Project maintain an ensemble approach throughout the creative process in order to develop new and bold interpretations of the plays produced.

Production History

B*tch  | Open: 01/05/12 Close: 01/28/12
 

 

B*tch is a rapid-fire, provocative, urban crime-comedy that centers on three brothers who enlist the mob in a seemingly perfect get-rich-quick scheme. The Debenedetto brothers have gotten their hands on a rare blue pit bull and seek the help of an estranged uncle to train and fight her. Nothing goes quite as they had planned.
