Lesser America
LESSER AMERICA IS POP THEATER. An ensemble of renegade artists dedicated to smart, quality entertainment that puts the audience first, fulfilling the promise of affordable, accessible theater for the 21st century.
Foolish Gentlemn Films
From three corners of America three gentlemen came to gather under the house of Atlantic and shipped off on a boat of bad metaphors and film making. We shot our debut series and its named the same thing as the company. How confusing, right?
The Plinth
Acorn Pictures
Cake Productions
Aggrocrag
Aggrocrag makes original theater that is forged collaboratively in the rehearsal room by merging written material with improvisation. Working from an ever-expanding array of entry points – from our collaborators to the playing space to our relationship to the audience – we make work that is at once surprising and familiar. Oh, and good. It’s also real good. AGGROCRAG makes work that brings collaborators (performers, designers, producers, writers, dramaturgs) into the creation process from the outset. These collaborators, along with company members, take full ownership over the creation of new works that start in a fluid and exploratory workshop setting and eventually settle into a traditional rehearsal process.
