Buntport Theater always creates new work. We try to keep it fresh, working with strange topics
or unusual designs. This time the whole process is going to be a journey.

We believe that creativity comes from limitations; that rules and obstructions challenge us to find what is interesting.

Here is what we set out to do and here are the rules we gave ourselves at the beginning of this process:

_____________________________________

We are going to buy a storage locker at an auction (yes, like Storage Wars). We will then use
the contents to inspire the creation of our third full-length production of our 16th Season.
1. We can go up to three times to an auction. We can buy at any time, but we must buy on
the third if we have not already.
2. We can spend up to $500 on a storage unit.
3. We will brainstorm the plot and design of the show based on what we find in the unit.
4. We have to use at least 75% of what is in the unit on the stage during the show. [NOTE:
we are allowed to throw out anything that does not seem safe (i.e. covered in mold)
before narrowing down to 75%]
5. We can alter the contents in any creative way that we choose.
6. We can supplement and alter with anything that we already own. Supplementation can
not exceed the amount of stuff we get from the unit.
7. We can spend an additional $200 on building materials or any necessary prop, set, or
costume piece. We can also spend any money made off of selling items from the unit
that we will not be using.
