B*tch Eat Dog
B*TCH EAT DOG is a puppet-filled sketch show that uses classical texts, feminist theory, and singing willys to interrogate the gendered ethics of pursuit. Punch and Judy puppets perform a gender swapped adaptation of Moby Dick that explores the fallacies of girlboss feminism. A tradwife named Felicity Groundwater hawks her questionable raw milk wares and ultimately breastfeeds a member of the audience with one of her nine pendulous burlap boobs. A new kind of IUD insertion escalates until rats are being shoved down a cervix. The evening is hosted by a hapless, well-intentioned white man who flails wildly as his misguided attempts at allyship lead to a painful realization.
Content Warning: Recommended for mature audiences(18+). Contains themes of violence, non-consensual sexual content, and some puppet nudity.
The Shipwrecked Titan: An Original Work written and presented by Derek Eldridge
A Millspace Spotlight Event
On April 15, 1912, one of the most prolific disasters in History occurred when the R.M.S. Titanic struck an iceberg and sank, taking the souls of hundreds of its passengers with her.
In this dark comedy, we find some of those souls still wandering around the wreckage of the damned ship, unaware of the tragedy that has come about them.
This 90 Minute abridged version of this piece highlights the dedication and years of work the Eldridge has put into this concept. With Music written specifically for the piece, it's a unique and haunting experience that you've never seen.

The Importance of Being Earnest
Get ready for an evening of wit, whimsy, and wonderfully tangled identities as Millspace Mainstage presents The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde!
This sparkling comedy of manners is one of the most beloved plays for good reason.

Directed by Jackson Clifford, this fresh and lively production brings Wilde’s timeless satire to life with elegance, energy, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Set in the height of Victorian sophistication, the show playfully skewers society, status, and the very idea of being “earnest.”
