One year and one month ago, we were in the midst of touring our Truck Show. With some distance from the shows, and in transition for what is next, I wanted to use this site to archive the project, as a keeping place for all the details, images, credits, research, etc.

Peruse the drop-down menus at top or follow the narrative (with links) below for a behind-the-steering-wheel view of this project.

Meet WHO was involved in making this thing.

Meet the GUEST PERFORMERS who joined us on the tour.

Explore our RESEARCH + INSPIRATION for the show.

See images of the MAKING of this show: from the beginning stages of conceptualization to practice and site set-up.

Check out the custom ANIMATION, MUSIC, + BACKDROPS we created.

Learn about each show and its customized characters and acts.  Also see images from the individual events:

LOGAN SQUARE  |  ROSCOE  |  WEST TOWN  |  PILSEN

View our PR materials + some of the PRESS attention the project received.

Finally, you ask, “What’s next?”

Well…Chris and I are in the initial planning stages for a slightly smaller-scale public project that will debut this summer. To stay up on that news, you can “like” the Traveling Truck Show FB page, as we’ll make announcements there.

Thanks ya’ll!

This may just look like an ordinary parking lot in an industrial area of Chicago, but come Oct. 20 it will transform into a very curious place indeed.

Located at 1837 W. Hubbard St., our West Town show will start a little later than the others.  So…leave the kids at home and come out for an unexpected night of whimsy.  It will be like nothing you’ve ever seen before!

All the details of the tour can be found here.

Let the building begin!
