Would you like to own a pair of beautiful wood carved doors from the show?

There are only four of them (FIRE, WATER, AIR & EARTH). Check out the gorgeous posts about the Goddesses on our Instagram page.

The illustrations on the doors to the Goddess Boxes were hand drawn by director and set designer, Samantha Van Der Merwe, and then carved using a CNC machine by Nate Raphael, our technical director and set builder.

All funds from the auction will go towards our next show, opening in April 2026.

The auction runs through December 19th.

Our next two Open Space Residencies are coming up in December

We look forward to hosting our final resident artists for the year:

Monel Chang & Kayla Hanson.



First up- In Take Me to Your Leader (Dec 4th-6th): The Seoul of a Clown, beauty, ritual, and absurdity collide in a one-clown fever dream. From the haunting rhythms of pansori to the fluorescent glow of a K-beauty altar, Monel Chang (aka Moldy Melon) shapeshifts through characters both divine and deranged: a folk diva, a skincare-obsessed disciple, and a dictator throwing themself a birthday party.

Next- SALOME (Dec 11th-13th) is a new feature screenplay by Kayla Hanson, adapted from Oscar Wilde’s Salome and excerpts from The Bible, and presented as a staged reading. This adaptation folds in themes of revisionist history, Filipino folklore, comedy, and of course, the all-consuming, deadly power of a teenage crush. This performance will also include a dance video (but it’s not the dance you’re thinking of). 

Our new Teen Ensemble page is up and running, and classes/workshops are live.

Do you know a Teen who is serious about theatre and would love to train in Shaking the Tree's creative environment?

Send them our way!

Speaking of creativity...

We’re looking for ideas for our Teen Ensemble logo! If you’re a teen with a great concept, send us your idea by the end of January 2026. Our graphic designer will review all submissions, and the creator of the winning idea will get to collaborate with them to bring the final logo to life. Email us HERE with your ideas and any questions you may have.

Our final Playreading Club on December 8th will be a reader's choice selection. Thank you to everyone who has sent in suggestions, we are making our way through them and will announce the play soon.

We can’t wait to transform Shaking the Tree into a cozy, festive marketplace for our Winter Holiday Market.

Browse a wide array of local vendors and handmade treasures, sip on seasonal beverages, and enjoy delicious treats as you wander through the space.

You'll also be able to check out our new little store within the space. Find out more about Little Red's Curiosity Shop HERE

Stop by anytime between 10am and 2pm for a little holiday cheer and festive sparkle.
