Coming in April
An all new premiere spectacle written and directed by Artistic Director Matthew Posey
Beware the return of the tyrannical Baron Leopold McDoogal and his evil creations in a terrifying prequal! (Title to come when we think you can bear it!)
“The Ochre House team, which prides itself on its disregard for everyday logic, never lets an audience down when it comes to audacious visual puns, cleverly imagined sets, and the sheer energy of a skilled, energetic cast of actors and first-rate musicians.”

OCHRE HOUSE, you ask?
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.
