Dangerous Neighbors
Deflating Fascism
Everything from cell-phone driven family life, to marriage counseling with emotional surrogate puppets, to January 6 apologists is fair game for writer Bill Burman's irreverent and satirical take on culture, current issues, and the absurdities of modern life. Join the Neighbors in countering the current social and political chaos with a fierce ambivalence and fired-up funny bone. Because we might as well laugh about it...

Dan Hoyle's work is "riveting, funny and poignant."
--the New York Times.
Dan Hoyle
Takes All Kinds
This funny and essential new piece of Journalistic Theater will change the way you see the country. Writer and performer Dan Hoyle channels powerful, funny and complex people caught in the social and political currents roiling our society. And in tender portraits of everyday Americans turned unlikely changemakers, it offers hope and ways forward in these tumultuous times.
​Directed by Aldo Billingslea.
