He has exited the stage but will never leave our hearts. A singularly talented artist and original Ochre House pioneer, Mitchell Parrack.
COMING IN MAY
MOVING CREATURES
Written and directed by Matthew Posey
Join us for the politically charged satire about an evil and intolerable oligarch, Baron Leopold Verdugo, and his four monstrous creations. Moving Creatures is a wild ride that shows no mercy to the tyrannical and reminds us of the frailty of human nature.
“The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism.” -Hannah Arendt
OCHRE WHO?
If you don’t know us, the Ochre House is an intimate little 55-seat storefront theater in a 100-year-old building in Dallas’ Expo Park neighborhood near the main entrance to the Texas State Fairgrounds. We’re in our sixteenth season of critically acclaimed, audience celebrated, pioneering, unorthodox theater productions.
Unique in North Texas, every story, every script, and every musical number are hand-crafted under our roof by a core group of slightly deranged, but highly innovative artists. We consider it our mission to engage you, shock you, mystify you, make you feel, and make you think things you might never have thunk. Every show is a world premiere.
Our founder and Artistic Director, Matthew Posey, furthers a long career of writing, directing, producing, and acting for stage and screen. He’s appeared in some minor productions you may not be familiar with: No Country for Old Men, The Magnificent Seven, Mr. Brooks, Places in the Heart, Dallas (original and reboot), The Son, Lonesome Dove, Walker Texas Ranger. None of these will prepare you for the Ochre House experience. They’re a paycheck to enable his true love: totally original, experimental, unpredictable live theater with live music and the occasional puppet.
The Ochre House is an essential check box on your bucket list, whether you’re a live theater enthusiast, “underground Dallas” explorer, the idle bored seeking the undiscovered, or just a lover of good yarns and accompanying instant classic tunes.
The Ochre House is ‘the arts’ and a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Consider a donation, a sponsorship or a grant. Tell your friends, benefactors, and foundations.
