Magazine Lecture: It’s Carpentry, my dear Watson!

Bag&Baggage Productions is back with a full season of thought provoking remarkable plays!

We are all reemerging, reconnecting refocusing on what is important in this world, what's important to us personally. We have a 2022/23 season that is rich with that, and more. The plays we bring you are focused deeply on the human condition. They are funny, heartwarming, heavy, touching, uplifting... they explore the full range and depth of our humanity.

We are still connecting to the stories we carry with us. Connecting to timeless narratives. Storytelling has been a way to connect since the beginning of the human race, and we hope you all will join us in recognizing the social importance of that truth. B&B is proud to be bringing you stories from a plethora of perspectives as we work to tell stories that speak to our neighbors, friends, and family from a global perspective. These voices are important and relevant to our lives, our time, and our community.

We are in a state of transition. We are growing and changing, and frankly we are so excited for the future. The 2022/23 season is gonna be awesome! The plays are amazing and it is our great privilege to bring them to our home in Hillsboro.

We'll see you at the vault!

- TS McCormick, Managing Director
