presents  

The First Annual Garage Tour

Our First Annual Garage Tour is just around the corner and coming to a neighborhood near you!

For the past eight years the co-directors of Off-Leash Area have presented small-scale productions, little diamonds in the rough, in their home studio and performance space - Our Garage. Our Garage actually is their 2-car garage, renovated with raised stage, lighting system, and seating for up to 40 adventurous souls. Located in the Longfellow neighborhood of south Minneapolis, it is arguably the most unique performance space in the area.

Now Off-Leash Area is touring to other garages throughout the metro area,

remounting their hit show from 2007, A Gift for Planet BX63.

 

 

Gift for Planet BX63 is the story of a girl living a simple existence on a little planet at the far edge of a distant galaxy who, one day, is visited by a trans-dimensional space salesman, changing her life forever.

Inspired by the book The Little Prince and the film The Gods Must Be Crazy, the play combines intricate acrobatic dance that seems to defy gravity and wildly physical theatrical characterizations inside a set that envelops the audience in the remote beauty of deep space.  A Gift for Planet BX63 is a play for all ages that invites you to find joy in life's simple things.

"At just under an hour, it's tempting to regard this show as a trifle,but surrendering to its skewed charms feels like a pleasant daydream that hints at something important on the fuzzy periphery of consciousness."
