Local Theatre - Alternative:

Theater In My Basement

Local theater collective that I housed at Modified Arts. The work is usually non-conventional, political, and challenging to the audience. A great group that is always putting up new and developing work

Stray Cat Theatre

Local theater company started by ASU theater alumni. The work has consistently received strong critical support. While the company does construct a full season in advance, the company has gained a reputation for taking on edgier works. http://straycattheatre.org/

Nearly Naked Theater

Local theater company with a strong GLBTQ focus.
