Welcome to Taproot Theatre Company’s 47th season exploring New Territory. It sounds exciting, right? It is! The season includes three regional premieres and a world premiere: brand new plays for this moment in time. But there’s a twist. Each of the five plays is set in the late 19th or early 20th century.

REGIONAL PROFESSIONAL PREMIERE
Bertie’s back! And this time his talent for trouble trails him to the Big Apple. When childhood chum Binkey Binkersteth knocks, one knacky notion leads to masterful mayhem and soon the notorious Knuckles McCann is fitting Bertie for a Chicago overcoat. Fortunately, the unflappable Jeeves is close at hand with a stiff cuppa joe and a penchant for putting things right!
Cocktails on the Corner
85th & Greenwood
While Jeeves and friends stumble through Prohibition-era New York City, here in Greenwood it’s anything but dry. Gin & tonics and bee’s knees, French 75’s and spritzes—you’ll find these and more (including non-alcoholic options) at the bars and restaurants in the neighborhood during the run of Jeeves Takes a Bow.

“Imagine a time when the world was divided…
A world where freedom is under assault…
A world where nationalism is on the rise…
We’re talking about the year 1918, of course.”

WORLD PREMIERE
2023 Season
WORLD PREMIERE
Prophet and Ro are chasing dreams faintly whispered on the wind that sweeps the dusty Texas plain, where ranching is brutal work and change is on the horizon. Set at the end of the Cowboy Golden Age, Last Drive to Dodge examines race, love, and legacy in a time when everyone is scrambling for their piece of the American Dream.
Taproot Theatre acknowledges that we live, work and play on the unceded and traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, specifically the Duwamish, and that we occupy this land. This acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities but serves as a first step in honoring the land we occupy and resisting the erasure of Indigenous past, present and future.
