Home of the Prune Festival and the famous bee-beard contest, Yuba City is an invisible gem tucked away in the desert. If you stare long enough it might vanish like a mirage. Rest here on your travels along that long unswerving snake we call the interstate, park your rig, unfold your legs, drain the main vein, and try our world-famous jackalope stew.

Cowboys and aliens, curmudgeons and troubadours, bassoonists and balloonists, you're all welcome. So go ahead: play the piano with your feet, stitch an armadillo-skin purse, carve a butter sculpture and build a cactus mailbox.

This fall, Pig Iron Theatre Company premieres their latest work, Welcome to Yuba City, marking Pig Iron's tenth world premiere at the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival.
The show is an absurd performance work presenting fragments of mythic America in an outpost on the edge of civilization. Pig Iron's crackerjack ensemble of clowns, buffoons and crazy-old-uncles will delight audiences with hilariously crafted vignettes that present a dream-America hand-crafted out of tall tales and tinfoil. This is a desert dance, a variety show rodeo, a musical oasis and a parade of misfits, eccentrics and loners.
