a bit about us
what we do and why we do it
TSquared Production Company was born in 2018 when Tess Ammerman waved a toothbrush at T. Michael Vest. Today, we work with a collective of playwrights, directors, actors, and singers to tell an array of stories ranging from classics to
new works. Our goal is to bring fresh, funny, and honest stories to the stage and build communities that thrive through live performance and artistic fellowship.
Laugh with us. Cry with us. Everyone is welcome in the Square.
