ABOUT US

Cock and Bull Theatre produces experimental theatre that embraces new technology, exploring contemporary resources within the creation and presentation of fantastical realism. The essence of Cock & Bull is theatrical work with a high level of design, at times campy, and often dark and a bit gruesome, and work that is slightly unproducible.

We bend the boundaries of gender, sexuality and societal norms with cross-gender casting and creating work or producing work that explores, exposes or deconstructs sexual identity. We wish to create fascinating alternate realities, transporting audiences from the common realm into new and exciting places.
YOU ARE PLEDGING TO PRODUCE TITANIC by CHRISTOPHER DURANG FOR COCK & BULL THEATRE IN CHICAGO

SINK OR SWIM!

Titanic by Christopher Durang is a bizzare comedy set on the SS TITANIC and shows the dysfunctionality and polymorphism of a turn of the century family.

“This is a really difficult play to do.” - Christopher Durang

Roseanne Barr was a sitcom star, a creator and a product, the agitator and the abused, a domestic goddess and a feminist pioneer. That was twenty years ago. But as far as she’s concerned, not much has changed.

SHAKEDOWN is the story of a black lesbian strip club in Los Angeles. The film is anchored in the stories of three women: Ronnie Ron, the creator and emcee of Shakedown, a large butch/stud lesbian and former Jehovah’s Witness; Egypt, a single mother, beauty pageant fanatic, and dedicated self - (re)inventor; and Jazmyne, the complicated and sometimes conflicted “Queen” of Shakedown. We go through the process of their labor with them and record what they do, and how they feel about what they are doing.

We need your help to complete the edit of the film, master the sound and score, color correct the images, fly to LA to shoot our final interviews with the dancers and have an amazing premiere in cities across America.
