"Imaginative staging and a sweet sense of humor" -- The Boston Phoenix "Wonderfully satisfying" -- The Boston Herald "Bursting with enthusiasm and hilarious physical comedy." -- The South End News HOME    About Rough & Tumble    Our Shows    Our People    Give us Money Who We Are: Rough & Tumble was founded in 1997 by Kristin Baker and Dan Milstein. "Let's make our own plays," they said. "How hard can it be?" At the time, Kristin and Dan were very young. Somewhat shockingly, their simple plan has worked out extremely well. We strive to make theater which is immediate, intimate, playful and humane. Do we always succeed? Meh. Who can know? But that's the great goal. Theater that you enjoy watching in the moment you are watching it, theater that is fun, that doesn't take itself too seriously, that cares about its characters, that takes you out of your... whatever it is you've got going on.

Rough & Tumble is back, baby In our newest original work, Rough & Tumble tells the story of famous airship captain Hugo Eckener's attempt to fly the Graf Zeppelin around the world in 1929, carrying dozens of journalists, photographers, paying passengers, and the physician to the King of Spain. We are developing the play now (right now! this minute!) and are combing through the many histories and newspaper reports that chronicle the event to recreate the atmosphere of media frenzy, populist pride, and futurism that swirled about the voyage. Then, on top of that, we are making a bunch of stuff up. Not Enough Rough & Tumble for you?
