Buntport Theater

Four grasshoppers are on a Zoom call. Their faces are close to the screens and each has a different room behind them. In a yellow font it says “The Grasshoppers”.

The Grasshoppers

The Grasshoppers is a mini drive-in [live] theater experience (a.k.a a short play performed outdoors while the audience remains in the safety of their cars).

We have been working on safe, alternative versions of entertainment, and like many companies both locally and around the country, we landed on an iteration of the drive-in.

The Grasshoppers is a short, funny twist on a nature documentary, featuring four giant grasshoppers (spaced safely apart from each other) on Buntport’s front lawn.

Check out this sped-up video of the show!
