We’re a nomadic company who seeks out new and exciting spaces to perform. Working in non-traditional venues gives us an opportunity to reimagine how and why we tell stories, and helps us to create deep, fascinating worlds for the audience to explore. We’re always experimenting; always rethinking what theater can be: as entertainment, as art and as out-of-the-ordinary experiences.</span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 13px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; min-height: 14px; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; "></span><br></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 13px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; ">More information about Theater Ninjas can be found at <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-decoration: underline; "><a href="http://www.theaterninjas.com">http://www.theaterninjas.com</a></span>.</span></div></div></div></body></html>
