On June 8 2024, an audience of three hundred sat down in the grass in the St. Croix Valley to watch a special work-in-progress presentation of a new show, "The Paper Operetta." The story centered around a world of Medieval two-dimensional paper dolls at the dawn of the Scientific Revolution, building the first thing to exist in a new dimension-- a human.

From out of this workshop emerges "TIGRE! TIGRE!" a new play touring Minnesota and Wisconsin in Fall 2025, including stops in Franconia, Maplewood, Minneapolis, Northfield, Viroqua, Winona, La Crosse, Hayward, and Bayfield.

Combining puppetry, traditional clown theater, and a live score influenced by everything from Medieval court music to Gilbert & Sullivan, "TIGRE! TIGRE!" explores humanity's absurd relationship to technology while asking the fundamental question: what drives us to perpetually open new doors that we know we won't be able to close?​
