History

* Sleepwalkers Theatre was founded in 2007 by 
  Tore Ingersoll-Thorp, Damian Lanahan-Kalish, 
  and John Rosenberg. They had just been in a       really really bad production of Hamlet and         wanted to make something their friends would       actually like. 

* Everyone who has ever been a company member has   in some way or another been unable to fit in       with established theatre communities, both big     and small. We like outsiders and weirdos.

* We did a talk back once. We're never going to 
  do that again.

* We started this in a bar in Chinatown. It's       called The Lipo Lounge and they make really 
  good Mai Tais.

* We have never charged more than $20 for a 
  ticket and have frequently charged $6. Theatre     should be affordable. 

* For company retreats, we hang out in Reno.

* We have had the unbelievable privilege to         collaborate with twelve emerging playwrights.     We gave them everything, as we will do for the     next twelve.
