Living things grow. They just do. It’s a beautifully natural process—a wonder to behold each spring as slumbering seeds wake to send tenacious sprouts up and steadying roots down. And, given the right conditions, those seedlings can flourish—spreading glorious evidence everywhere—that life goes on and on and on.

 Art is similarly alive—pulsing with creative energy. Starting with a seed of an idea, and with care, attention and hard work, growing into something beautiful. We’ve experienced that miraculous journey over and over again through Bucket Brigade as we’ve written, developed and produced original theater with professional artists for the past 15+ years.

This spring celebrate the premiere of our newest piece of original theater, Shanty Boys of Pine County: Stories, Songs and Legends of Northwoods Lumbermen! We’ve been working hard on crafting and fine-tuning this piece ever since it’s earliest inception last spring. It’s a musical telling the story of northwoods lumbermen though traditional Irish and lumber camp songs– featuring two storytellers, two musicians, a stack of songs, a heap of of stories, and a pile of timber that creatively transforms as the rollicking adventure unfolds.

We’re officially premiering the show at Art House North, and then taking it on the road to the Hinckley Fire Museum, for free performances Memorial Day Weekend!

We’re also doing a reading of a new-work-in-development, written by our very own Artistic Director, Jeff Miller!

Join us as we celebrate freshly made theater and begin work on good things to come!
