Are We Delicious

//---no times on events--- Doors 6:30PM / Show 7:30PM What happens when you hand a group of wildly talented writers, performers, musicians, comedians, and theatrical chaos agents a blank page and only ten days to create a show? You get Are We Delicious?! Madison’s fast-paced, joyfully unhinged original theater company that has been delighting audiences since 2012. Here’s the setup: no script, no safety net, just a theme, a ticking clock, and a hilariously fearless ensemble ready to leap into the unknown. Founded by beloved impresario Tony Trout and his partner Karen Moeller, Delicious was built on one core belief: perfection is overrated, creativity is abundant, and everybody has something brilliant, hilarious, bizarre, or deeply human to contribute. Over the years, Delicious has created more than thirty-five original productions performed all over Wisconsin, packed with comedy, drama, mystery, music, and theatrical mayhem. Every single Are We Delicious? show is built collaboratively from scratch, bringing together actors, improvisers, playwrights, musicians, comedians, poets, and even puppeteers into one gloriously creative sandbox. In 2023, Are We Delicious? proudly returned as a cornerstone of the Madison theater scene after a hiatus that reminded us all just how important live art and community truly are. That same year, leadership officially passed from Tony and Karen to new impresario Stacey Garbarski and that agent of chaos Gina M. Gómez, two longtime collaborators and artists dedicated to carrying the company’s wonderfully unhinged spirit into its next chapter.Their mission is simple: keep creating bold, original theater. Keep taking risks. Keep making space for new artists. Keep making space for those artists to surprise themselves. Keep making audiences laugh.
