Update #1: Happy Holidays from Bughouse
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to give you guys an update. A couple of new potential spaces cropped up and they each have great potential. I would like to have a portrait unveiling party in February even if we don't have a space. So keep an eye for that. It's not too late to send me your photos, if you haven't already.
Thanks,
Joe

about us...
Bughouse Theater is a collection of artists, actors, writers, and filmmakers who decided to create a new venue for themselves and their community.
We are dedicated to building Ensembles, with the belief that a group of connected, supportive individuals can accomplish great things on stage and screen, in their communities and in their own lives.
We are dedicated to the enrichment of communities through the arts and the enrichment of the arts through community.
We are dedicated to the principle of the artist owned venue.
The name "Bughouse" is taken from Chicago's Bughouse Square, a gathering place for orators, free speech advocates and rabblerousers of old. "Bughouse" was slang for mental institution, and seemed to fit the cast of characters that frequented the square. It is in the spirit of that place that we hope to establish ourselves.
Hi Everyone!
I signed a lease Yesterday!!! We have a space starting July 1st. We will have our unveiling and presenting the portraits to you sometime in mid to late July. There will be a little bit of construction to do before we can open the doors, but when we do hold on to you hat!
It is not too late to submit a photo for your portrait. If you don't send a photo, your name will be affixed to a portrait of a random object. If you want to remain anonymous, just let me know and there will be a nameless object in your slot.
We also got word yesterday that we are officially a federally recognized non-profit. That is great news as well.
Thanks again for all of your support.
until July,
Joe
