Jackalope Theater: Beginnings
The Jackalobe Theater Group was formed by three Columbia College students, Kaiser Ahmed, Gus Menary, and AJ Ware. They had written as part of their senior class project a five-year plan for a fictional threater company. When they graduated they decided to create a real theater company, which they did. Their first production given at a rent-free west side location was the play The Last Exodus of American Men, written by Andrew B. Swanson, who became part of the group.
