After their circus burns down, a ringleader and his right-hand man find themselves on a deserted plain where the sun has stopped shining. Beset with memories, fears of the future, and spectres of their collective guilt, the men seek survival and sanity.

The Straddler is an interdisciplinary organization founded with the intent of examining and transforming culture. Looking as much to the past as to the present for insights into an age where repetition and cultural diminishment are the norm, The Straddler seeks to sift through illuminated bits of western and American culture. Pieced together, The Straddler believes these fragments offer images of the potential for a more dignified cultural future. Too Far Gone Out in the Middle of Nowhere is The Straddler’s first theatrical production.
