Tricklock

Tricklock Company is an ensemble of theatre creators dedicated to the investigation of the human condition through group-generated, original theatrical experiments. The ensemble has a deep passion for training and creating together, teaching and mentoring, and international artistic exchange through touring and Tricklock's annual Revolutions Intern... ational Theatre Festival. The ensemble works out of the Tricklock Performance Laboratory (lovingly nicknamed T-Lab,) a 60 seat black box downtown theatre. T-Lab is the home of both our studio/performance space and administrative offices, as the ensemble creates and manages all aspects of Tricklock Company.
