Our Family
The Funhouse Family began producing live theatre in 2017. Our goal was to create an innovative, accessible, subversive evening of entertainment that would leave audiences as unsettled as they were satisfied.
Funhouse I premiered at Seattle's Eclectic Theater in June 2017. Funhouses II and III ran at The Slate Theater in October 2017 and April 2018, respectively. Funhouse IV will be produced in association with Theatre Off Jackson in November 2018.
The Funhouse Family's greatest love is collaborating with diverse artists to make new, exciting, boundary-pushing art. We need your help.

How Does Your Donation Help?
Stipends: This is a big one. The Funhouse Family is comprised of a whole bunch of incredibly talented artists, including actors, designers, directors, playwrights, and everyone in between. We think they deserve to be paid for their work.
Designer Budgets: Theatre Off Jackson is a BIG space. We want to fill it with a GREAT show. That means our endlessly talented and resourceful designers need to spend some money to make sure they give you the very best costumes, hair, makeup, set, props, lights, and sounds they possibly can.
More Funhouse Productions: The Funhouse Family is bursting with ideas for how we can expand our company and better serve our community. Your donation will allow us produce more live theatre, concert events, and podcasts, as well as helping us get the ball rolling on our community outreach and education programs.
Treehouse Time: When you donate at the $100 level or above, The Funhouse Family will volunteer our time to local nonprofit, Treehouse for Kids. They are a wonderful organization that serves youth in foster care.
