“Here Be Monsters” theatre took its name from the term early mapmakers used when they came to uncharted territories. We like creating new work, exploring new ground, and taking on monsters of our own.
In August 2019, we got GOOD & LOST.
Texans lose their belongings in the storm. Patients lose the ability to communicate. A teacher loses an office tool. Medusa loses her body. A theatre company practices losing each other.
