Following the success of The Front Porch Plays in 2019 and the Patio Plays in 2022, Nomad Theatre ventures out again on tour to perform in your garden, the neighbor’s garden, even a public or famous garden in our community.
Host a Garden Performance of All Abloom by Nomad Theatre
🌼 A Site-Specific Theatre Experience—Delivered Right to Your Doorstep 🌼
This summer, Nomad Theatre’s All Abloom is taking the show on the road—literally. Our traveling troupe of actors is performing four original 10-minute plays, all set in a garden, and your backyard could be our next stage.
Directed by Emily Grimany, All Abloom is a 45-minute site-specific performance designed for outdoor spaces like gardens, patios, porches, driveways, or greenspaces. If your space is at least 20x20 feet—we can make it work!
So gather your closest friends who love theatre, decide a host spot, and book early!

This is Theatre Up Close and Personal
Actors are not amplified with microphones, so performances are designed for intimate gatherings—perfect for groups of up to 15 guests. It’s storytelling at its simplest and most magical.
🎟 How Ticketing Works:
Host Spot: $50
This includes up to five guests (in addition to the host)
More Guests? You can invite up to 15 total. Additional tickets are $10 per guest. If you want to host a performance with more than 15 guests, contact us at
bm9tYWR0aGVhdHJlbW92ZXMgfCBnbWFpbCAhIGNvbQ== to discuss a discounted group rate based on estimated attendees.
After purchasing, you’ll receive a payment link to share with your guests for individual ticket purchases—or you can choose to cover the full cost for your invite list and settle up separately with your guests. We’ll follow up to confirm your total guest count a few days before the performance. If more guests attend than expected, we’ll send a quick invoice post-show.
💐 Not sure who’s coming yet?
No worries. Reserve your spot for 5 now and finalize your count closer to the event. We’ll send a friendly reminder to confirm details before your show.
📅 Booking Info:
