Philadelphia, PA 19107

The Walnut Street Theatre was built by the Circus of Pepin and Breschard, which toured the United States from 1807 until 1815. Pepin and Breschard constructed numerous venues in cities along the East Coast of the United States, which often featured, along with performances of their circus, classical plays as well as horse dramas. The theatre was founded in 1809, going by the name of The New Circus. In 1811, the two partners commissioned architect William Strickland to design and construct a stage and orchestra pit for theatrical performances and the theatre's name was changed to The Olympic. The official website says that the name The Walnut Street Theatre was first used there in 1820, though the name was changed back to The Olympic in 1822 and to The Walnut again in 1828. A travel guidebook from 1849 indicates that in the mid 19th century, this building was called The American Theatre.

Tori Mittelman founder of In Cahoots and Madison Auch, founding member of In Cahoots Theatre Company, met in 2006 while both living in Fairfax, Virginia during high school. Fast friends and like-minded artists, they started working together early on to create provocative pieces of theatre; in 2010 they put up a production of Don Nigro's "Seascape with Sharks and Dancer", in which Tori directed and Madison played Tracy. While attending school in Wisconsin, Tori created a devised project, "Traveling to a Strange Place", that focused on feminist issues with classmate Mona Maclay. It was during this endeavor that the term In Cahoots was coined, after a professor of Maclay's and Mittelman's used the term to describe the pair's friendship and unconventional method of collaboration. After Tori moved to Philadelphia in the fall of 2014, In Cahoots Theatre was created, and is thrilled to be producing their first show in the Philadelphia Fringe next fall. In Cahoots Theatre is a new Philadelphia-based activist theatre company founded by Tori Mittelman.It is led by Artistic Producers Tori Mittelman and Madison Auch. Here at In Cahoots we believe that theatre can and should be used as a tool to show societal strife and bridge the gap between all aspects of life. Theatre should not be an event for the privileged, but an experience accessible to anyone willing to be thrown into the world with us. In Cahoots strives to work with as many different disciplines as possible, ranging from scientists, painters, musicians, mathematicians, etc. Theatre should not set up a divide between societal structures, but break them down and create a new form of artistic expression.
