 Our Projects

• • BIG SHOWS

    • Our “Main Season” of shows, workshops, staged readings, and other events which are selected through a proposal submission process. Our ongoing goal is to put on work that aligns with our values of community, collaboration, cheap art, liberation, and accessibility.

  •  Salon du Cheap Artiste

    • A free, public, communal performance/art-making bonanza where all you have to do is show up! We provide props, puppets, junk instruments, and costumes for devised community based performance created by you! Salons are facilitated by co-op members or special guests. Examples  include a shadow puppetry workshop and a guided drag alter-ego creation session

  • Cafe du Cheap Artiste

    • A themed open mic/cabaret. At the Cafe, ANYONE can do ANYTHING they want, as long as it’s 2 minutes or less. If you go over the two minute mark, you will be played off by the Goddamn Brass Band! There's always a (loosse) theme! Past Cafes include Hall of Presidents, Aughts Fashion Show, and Aquatic Disco
