Artists are the most creative people in the world and the least financially rewarded for their efforts. Less than 1 in 100 Actors are able to live off their ArtWork. It is the result of a creative individual’s inability to function in a corporate grid. We will create a New System. We will work together to build our own theatres. Audiences are searching for the voices of this generation. It is a matter of ensuring trust with our patrons by only sharing quality work on a consistent basis. And quality is a Fully-Realized Vision.
We are the most creative people on the planet.
Together, we will build a new system.
This is Our Greenhouse Ensemble.

DANNY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA
Written by John Patrick Shanley
“
D AN N Y A N D T H E D E E P B L U E S E A by John Patrick Shanley is an exploration into our deepest animalistic nature and our strong need to survive at all cost. It is a story of two beaten down loners who manage to find a way to connect to each other way after they have given up hope. It is raw and violent and beautiful all at the same time. The Greenhouse Ensemble understood this well and did a wonderful job exploring the many layers of humanism that many other productions would over look for the sake of the “fight”. Reanna Armellino and Hazen Cuyler did an amazing job of leaving their egos backstage and allowing us to witness both the anger and ugliness as well as the vulnerability and frailness of their characters.”

Everyone who takes theatre seriously should grab the opportunity to see this audacious production”

ONE NIGHT STAND
An evening of four short plays by Theresa Rebeck
“I was inspired by Rebeck’s honest, nuanced portrayal of romantic relationships and their myriad of complexities. The impact one person can have on our lives can be, in turns, elating and devastating.”
