Variations Theatre Group

Variations Theatre Group Variations Theatre Group (VTG) is an independent theater company whose goal is to produce and support muscular storytelling.

Since our inception in 2009, we have produced eight mainstage shows (including David Rabe’s Hurlyburly and Eric Bogosian’s Talk Radio), curated nine theater and film festivals, and given hundreds of independent playwrights and actors the opportunity to hone their craft. In December, the 12 Days of Chain Christmas offered a variety of holiday programming for the whole family, including the radio pl

ay of It’s a Wonderful Life!, a reading of Jane Wagner’s The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe by Orange Is the New Black’s Barbara Rosenblat, and a visit from Santa himself. We are currently deep in rehearsal for the first show of new our season, Dale Wasserman’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and are excited to share it with our community. And in lighter fare, we also have recently officially formed our movie parody group, The Usual Rejects, which after sold out performances of BACK TO THE FUTURE and SPEED recently premiered Clever Girl: JURASSIC PARK.
