POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Tonight’s the night, bird lovers, theatre lovers, and lover lovers. It all comes down to this. One final performance before The Swan flies off into the sunset, after crashing into the window and landing in our hearts and living in our minds.

To all of y’all who followed your own heart, and showed up and showed out, thank you! It means the world to share these stories with you all, and to be reminded of what love is, and why we do it. There is nothing like it in the world. It defies gravity, and it’s a feeling so real it must be followed through. We’re so glad that road leads us to you.

A handful of tickets are still available for tonight’s closing production. Grab ‘em while you still can, friends. Thanks again for all of your support, in all of the ways! We will see you tonight, or hopefully again real soon!

And last, but certainly not least, here he is in the flesh, or in the feathers, if you will, Nick Napoli, who plays the titular role of our love story, Bill, the swan.

Nick Napoli is excited to return to the Garage Theatre after working with the company on their last show, “Elves 1984”. Additional theatre credits include Hamlet (Long Beach Shakespeare Co.), Sodapop in “The Outsiders” (NTEA), Young Tommy in “Tommy & Me” (Theatre Exile), and Peter in “Peter & The Starcatcher” (Theatre Horizon). He holds a BA in Theatre from Rider University. Nick would like to thank the wonderful team at The Garage, and everyone who came out, for supporting live theatre in DTLB.

“Nick Napoli commits fearlessly to Bill’s transformation from hostile animal to awkward, yearning man, using his entire body to make the impossible surprisingly credible.” - Sean McMullen - Long Beach Press Telegram

Only three more shows, y’all! Three more nights to find out what love is, and why we do it. A story like none other, that breaks open the windows of your soul, and helps you remember why we love who we love, and who we really are, underneath it all.

Tickets still available through our website or the link in our bio. Don’t let this story pass you by. Catch The Swan while you still can! We close this Saturday night (09/26). See you there!✨🦢🤍

I’m done waiting to become the version of myself who feels ready.

So hi. I’m starting. 🤟🏼

I’m Maddie. I’ve wanted to build something of my own for a long time, and I’m finally doing it before I feel perfectly confident, perfectly prepared, or perfectly anything.

This little corner of the internet is going to be about storytelling, creativity, social media, reinvention, making weird ideas real, and figuring your life out in public.

If you’re building something, changing something, starting over, or just trying to become a little braver about being seen, tell me what it is in the comments.

I want to know who I’m doing this alongside. 🫶

“…let’s refuse to put this wondrous little gem in any box and just let it breath. And breath it does, thanks in large part to Cowan’s focus on the emotional context…the three actors create a strange but genuinely moving love triangle...The evocative sound design and beautiful set complete that familiar Garage Theatre miracle: a tiny storefront that always seems considerably larger on the inside.”- Sean McMullen - Long Beach Press Telegram

Oh, we are sooooo back, y’all!

And we are very much looking forward to being back on stage with you this weekend, for our third weekend of The Swan. That means there are already only three weekends left! 9 shows, my friends, 9 shows. We must close on September 26th.

Remember that Thursdays are our Twofer Sutherland night, where you can get two tickets for the price of one. Thursdays tend to sell out first, so get those tickets while you still can!

See you there!✨🦢🤍

Last weekend was magic, y’all!✨🦢💙Our story of the swan took off, and landed right in your hearts and minds and conversations. We love to hear all the theories and ideas that are wrapped around what love is, and what it all means! Thanks for sharing them, having them, and most of all, for being there!

We’re back on stage tomorrow night for y’all, with all of y’all! Join us! We’ll be there Friday and Saturday nights, too! Thursday nights are still our Twofer Sutherland Thursdays, where you can get two tickets for the price of one! (Must buy two, to receive the twofer spesh!)

This one must be seen to be believed, and experienced to be understood. Get off your couch and come sit in our seats, y’all! You’ll be so glad you did! Tickets available on our website and in our bio!

See you there, yall!✨🦢💙

We're engaged! 💍

It’s official now, but honestly, life together has always felt like this — easy, deep, fun and a lot of love. From the late-night laughs to the cozy mornings together, every version of life is better with you in it. Can’t wait to keep choosing this, over and over. 🤍
