Because sharing is more fulfilling than owning

Because corporations would rather the landfills overflow than anyone get anything for free

Because no one should have to do without food, shelter, entertainment, and community

Because life should be a picnic, but it only will be if we make it happen

BECAUSE HELPING EACH OTHER IS BETTER THAN COMPETING OVER WHICH RICH MAN SHOULD RULE OVER US

In addition to the featured show, we’ll be bringing a few fun performances, including a charming cantastoria. We also travel with a distro of material related to the content of our shows.
