“With direction by Daria Davis so precise that it rendered the complex production seamless…A runaway train screeching straight out of hell.”

“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was easily one of the most effective and meticulous productions I’ve seen in Austin.” - Jillian Owens, The Austin Chronicle

“On-the-mark acting, beautifully dark scenic and costume designs, and the direction work all meld to create an ironically unified vision for this story about split personalities.” – Claire Christine Spera, Austin-American Statesman

Stockpile is a site-specific exploration into hoarding, love, and cold-war anxiety as seen through the eyes of squirrels. Performed on the sprawling LBJ lawn, Stockpile finds one squirrel scurry pitted against a newly formed other. As they fight over litter, lost nuts, and half-eaten muffins, will peace prevail? Will we get caught up in the battle?
