Free Gumbo was a production company / artist collective that sought to use absurd interactive art to empower, entertain, and challenge our participants. Our motto was "the audience is our medium", and some highlights of events/installations include:

Pasta Cult -- a showcase of our “greatest hits” installations, with a surprise midnight procession where fire-dancers, opera-singers, and our whole collective chanted starchy prayers as we bestowed angel hair-pasta onto the crowd, finally launching 350 lbs of noodles into the sky, starting a food fight of truly awesome proportions

Basement Admission -- a mind-bending interactive play where actors actively engaged with audience members, making them a part of the post-apocalyptic story as everyone ran around our stage, a real student house with every room containing simultaneous scenes
