Please pay by check (made out to Slow Theatre) or cash. The Butcher Shop is a popular community event that began as a backyard show 29 years ago in the summer of 1989. Conceived by Denver and Dylan Latimer and Casey Simpson, it grew out of Chico's homegrown theatrical and musical talent, and from these efforts Chico’s Blue Room Theatre was born. In 2009, many of the original players—some now working in Los Angeles, New York, and Portland—reunited and added fresh Chico talent to create the current Butcher Shop event, now produced by Slow Theatre. This is the tenth Butcher Shop production to take place in the orchard at “The End of Normal" (2500 Estes Rd, Chico). After two years of a one-play format, this year The Butcher Shop will feature several short plays interspersed with film, art, and dance and tableau. Comments are closed.
