Woyzeck
Toy Box kicks off its 9th season with the premiere of their original adaptation of Woyzeck, George Buchner's unfinished working-class tragedy. Colonna Sonora, 2010 NYITA nominee for best original music, will provide a live acoustic score, and members of the critically acclaimed production team of Toy Box's 2009 'Tis Pity She's a Whore return to bring this multidisciplinary work to life.
Beginning October 22, 2010
Founded in 2002, Toy Box Theatre has directed and produced a broad spectrum of theatrical works that has continuously engaged and transformed audiences. View the journey of how we began and how far we've come and check out the different types of productions below.
In 2007, in order to broaden our access to talented artists of all genres, we created the Pub Theatre series to supplement our prior developmental reading series BluePrints. Pub Theatre is a monthly program that takes place at various locations in the city. The night is designed to give performing artists an opportunity to try out work in progress in a relaxed setting and has featured musicians, mimes, improvers and solo-performers. By expanding our base of talent we hope to find future collaborators who can bring additional inspiration to our shows in the forms of choreography, musical composition, puppeteering, and forms of multi-media including visual artists, live broadcast, archival footage, and independent film makers. By collaborating with multiple genres of art and performance we can continue to stimulate our audiences with diverse, thought provoking and original work.

In a time-twisted riff on the nature of obsession and old-testament sacrifice, Soren Kierkegaard needs to get into the mind of Abraham at that moment on the mountain with the boy and the knife. And then there's a fiancée to repel, a father to satisfy, and 20th-century philosophy to invent.
Little Red:Lost in the Woods brings you the exclusive investigation of the story that's gripping the nation; a young girl in a red hood has been attacked by an "allegedly" big bad wolf. Make up your own mind, if you can, as you witness the multi-media frenzy that consumes the truth of this classic tale. Toy Box Theatre Company presents this world premiere production featuring a girl, her mother, a grandmother, a wolf, and a couple of lawyers all sharing the stage with a live newscast.
Babies on doorsteps. Monsters under the bed. The impossibility of being a parent. Two generations struggle with their terrors and errors, learning to confront the limits of love and the presence of the big bad wolf.
