if and only if is an artist-based experimental theater collective focused on the collaborative generation of original work as well as the reimagining of classic texts. We seek to foster a nurturing artistic environment based on education and sharing, not only among theater artists, but composers, musicians, dancers, puppeteers, and visual artists as well. We are dedicated to the creation of a full theater experience content-driven and aesthetically inventive.

We have a residency in upstate New York this summer at Salem Art Works, and are planning to workshop a site-specific adaptation of James and the Giant Peach. We plan to approach this project through the lens of many varied disciplines, including but not limited to the Japanese Noh tradition, modern dance, Mary Overlies Viewpoints, origami and various forms of puppetry. We have an incredible cast of performers who are excited to begin work on this beautiful story, but we can't do it alone. 

All of your generous donations will go toward funding our residency and providing costumes, props, and set pieces. We have been ambitious in our imagining of this show, but nothing comes cheap. Thanks for all your support!
