Theater Ninjas’ original production, TingleTangle, was an evening of personal storytelling, sketches, songs, and conversations about sexuality, marriage equality, the many angles of oppression, and the power of compassion. It reveled in the nuances of identity and how we all use performance to communicate our truest selves to the world.

A faithfully updated version of the production returned in June 2015 to sold out crowds, poignantly closing the day marriage equality was fully legalized nationwide.
