Starting on the ground level.

Spotlight

Born at the Box is our new producers presentation series. This SPOTLIGHT presentation will feature two different producers and their 30 minute sets.

Hannah Bakke (she/her) presents The Garden, a thirty minute original folk musical. In The Garden, the world’s first music venue, (the genesis of honkytonks, really) creation begins. The story is an epic reimagining of Eve’s first days in the garden of Eden, where Adam, Eve, and Lucifer are members of a folk band who play at a dive bar called “The Garden”. This concert presents a selection of songs from the show, and some of the stories behind the songs.

Bryanna Cuthill (she/her) presents The Right Regrets, a new musical concert set. The Right Regrets looks at regret from the perspective of a 20-something. Too young to know regret? Perhaps, but not too young to know the fear of regret associated with major life decisions. I’ve always lived my life as a race, constantly striving to pass the person ahead of me, while simultaneously looking over my shoulder. My grandparents ask if I’m dating anyone special whenever I call. The Union Square clock reminds me that the planet is on fire, and my best friends are all landing jobs with a 401K before graduating while I’m waiting in line for hours to sing for 90 seconds. This show will explore the quintessential question, “have I made the right choice?” through songs that not only focus on that theme, but have a personal connection to my own journey.

The stage is yours...

Out of the Box Theatrics is looking for thirty-minute sets that align with our mission to lift up marginalized voices. Selected participants will have the opportunity to present their piece on the OOTB stage. Three to four sets will be selected for each presentation. OOTB will provide space to rehearse for the presentation and staff support on the day of the presentation.
