STOMP is explosive, provocative, sophisticated, sexy, utterly unique, and back in Chicago with new surprises for audiences of all ages. The eight member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – match boxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps, tractor tires, paint cans – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. USA Today says “STOMP finds beautiful noises in the strangest places.” See what all the noise is about.

Spin is a farce that questions our own identity in the middle of a consumerist culture, and challenges us to consider what happens when consumerism ends and we need to rediscover ourselves.
