Polybe was Gertrude Stein's dog. Seats are where you sit.


Polybe + Seats has been making theater together since 2001. We produce new plays and collaboratively developed work that experiments with images, language, structure, and storytelling. By presenting our stories from multiple perspectives, we invite our audiences to make their own connections with our work. Our work has been presented by The University of Michigan, Mabou Mines / Suite, Brooklyn Fire Proof, and the Waterfront Museum and Showboat Barge.

By choosing stories that we ourselves are curious about, we engage our audiences' curiosity and imaginations.
