Past Productions

Anxious Attachment made its world premiere at Zombie Joe's 23rd Annual 50-Hour Drive-By Theatre Festival in January 2026, written from scratch in 50 hours with props assigned by lottery. The Bombay Beach Biennale production followed shortly after, at one of the most singular and unlikely venues in American theatre. Bombay Beach sits on the eastern shore of the Salton Sea, a former resort town now weathered into one of the most visually striking and strange locations in the American Southwest.

Cameron Gregg directed the first full independent production at the Biennale.

The outdoor desert setting, string lights, and an audience that had traveled specifically to this remote location for art created an atmosphere that matched the play's themes in ways a conventional theatre could not have.

Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group hosts the Drive-By Theatre Festival annually, a 50-hour sprint in which playwrights write, directors cast, and companies rehearse and perform entirely original work in under two days, with props assigned by random lottery.

Both Anxious Attachment and Something Ancient were written from scratch during this festival in January 2026, performed for North Hollywood audiences, and proved strong enough to take further. The festival is where they found their shape - and where the collaboration between Douglas Clarke and Michael Silva that became Something Anxious began.
