Cahoot?! Physical Theatre

CAHOOT?! Physical Theatre aims to subvert economic, geographic, and social boundaries by making innovative theatre available to everyone.

We desire to challenge artistic expectations and to spark conversations. We seek to create work that is subversive, evocative, persistent, fluid, thrilling, unabashed, colorful, empathetic, and alive — curiously strange, remarkably human. 

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Cahoot?! Physical Theatre was established in 2018 by 5 performers and artists from across the country and beyond.

Co-founders Jacob Snyder Timmons (North Carolina), Emilia Björk Perkins (Sweden), Chase Perkins (New Hampshire), Graham Casper Haught (California), and Eric William Jones (Wisconsin) met and began dreaming of this ensemble while studying together at Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre, the premier institute for physical theatre in the world. All five artists spent three years honing their craft and began to devise wholly original work. 

 At the core of our mission is a radical idea: theatre (and art) should be available to everyone. Our goal is to create high-quality productions available to the public in the community and without a price tag. By doing this, we hope to break down the barriers of location, income, and class to bring innovative theatre to everyone.  Help us bring free theatre and theatre education to all!

Deep down, we're big believers in the life-changing magic of art. We use physical theatre to tell stories that are both entertaining and thought-provoking, and we aim to challenge our audiences to see the world in a new way. But, here's the thing: The arts can be a real money pit, leaving some folks on the sidelines. That's why our shows and workshops are free for everyone! We believe that everyone deserves to experience the magic of live theatre. 

This past April, we performed our original show, “A Red Herring” for a second time! We traveled across the St. Croix River and performed this farcical, nautical detective mystery at St. Croix Festival Theatre in St. Croix Falls, WI – but we’re not retiring Salty Sloane McNulty any time soon! Keep your eyes peeled for announcements in the future… With your support, we can bring Salty to more people – for free!

Meet Auntie Agnes, the newest resident of the old attic space. Her many legs will soon be hard at work weaving a web for this space to call it her home.

As we kick off this giving season, we celebrate the web of community that you all have woven alongside us. And now, with Auntie Agnes, we can continue to weave our web into her beautiful new home!

At Cahoot?!, we break down barriers to innovative theatre because we believe that everyone in our community deserves a life full of art and thriving. Your donation to Cahoot?! allows this mission to continue and directly impacts our community. To learn more and donate, click here!
