The Little Green Pig Theatrical Concern is a nonprofit theatre company that has been bringing provocative work to Triangle audiences since 2005. Our model is experimental but accessible, strange and dreamlike but familiar and immediate.

Little Green Pig is dedicated to Enlightenment values: exploration of imagination, questioning traditional values and subjecting our work to the light of Reason. Our form involves choosing one focus country each season and presenting original or adapted productions based on the spirit of that place. Approaches include:

• using humor as a tool in tragedy and vice versa;
• instilling all work with a palpable sense of drive and edge;
• nontraditional casting whether by gender or race;
• deconstruction and "violation" of sacred texts while maintaining plot and character;
• respect for the artist's time and talent;
• environmental staging in nontraditional locations whenever feasible;
• whenever possible using texts created or adapted by local playwrights.

Little Green Pig's name is a reference to the play The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh. A pig in one of the play's stories who chooses to remain green despite pressure from his pink contemporaries.
