Matthew Posey’s PATTI & THEO was a monumental success!

We couldn’t (and wouldn’t) do it without you!

“..cool, finger-snappy, offbeat, funny, and sometimes the stuff of bad dreams: It’s a funky mix, but Patti & Theo’s dark music will linger with you for a while.”
Onstage NTX
“This has been… the best play I’ve seen this year. It masterfully combines risk-taking, humor, and a palpable sense of discipline and respect for the craft.”
Yellow Mezzanine
“The end result of all of the creative energy going into Patti & Theo is a show that Posey says audiences can take something different from each time they see it.”
Collin-Denton Spotlighter

Thanks to everyone who attended and to all the hardworking artists who made the show a hit.

Coming in February: another phantastic Ochre House production written and directed by Kevin Grammer. Watch for announcements.
The Ochre House Theater was named Best Theater Company for 2024.
Dallas is full of great live theater. Get out and consume with gusto.

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 fifteenth 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.

Thank You. We love you.
