Tiny Mayhem is a contemporary performance series produced in partnership with NHTP Company Artist Emily Karel. Originally produced at the Red Door, in Portsmouth NH in the summer of 2015, the events are an eclectic assortment of theatre, dance, music and drinks curated to create a one-of-a-kind night. 

As well as being a night for audiences to experience something a little different, Tiny Mayhem helps makers in all disciplines, find collaborators and space to explore new performative work. The evening of short performances will be presented online.

Tiny Mayhem has found a new home at New Hampshire Theatre Project and it’s first event will take place on Friday, December 11th at 8pm. Check out this link to purchase tickets!
