PlaceBase Productions works with local communities and commissioning partners to create unforgettable works of theater performed in specific, local sites around Minnesota. Our work begins with a place, its history, stories and physical environment, its significance to the local community and its potential futures. From this place we develop an original text to bring these elements into play. And from this text we build a work of theatre, collaborating with local actors, musicians and artisans to make this place speak what it has to say. For each work the place is transformed into a dynamic playing space based on the text. Audiences are invited to rediscover the beauty and power of a place they may have known their entire life, and they are free to explore the new theatrical environment in whatever way their imagination guides them. Each production presents free of charge a multimedia work of the local collective memory. 

Our goal is to foster creativity, a sense of wonder and, above all, a sense of place by teaching local communities about their history and culture and helping to create in that community a deeper appreciation for the essential role of the arts in community life.

G-rage compositions layer acoustic performances with an electronic backbone to create music that is adventurous and playful. Recent works are guided by the guitar, featuring more shred and intricate harmonic interplay.

The bass player is a member of the rhythm section in a band, along with the drummer, rhythm guitarist, and, in some cases, a keyboard instrument player (e.g., piano or Hammond organ)
