Cultural Cross Ties began during the pandemic in 2020. Everyone was in isolation and Barking Legs Theater began thinking of new ways of connecting artists from different cultures online. We reached out to our Sister City Association (SCA) to propose this idea as a way to create meaningful connections with our Sister Cities when we could not connect in person.

The focus of the project is sharing cultures through conversation and through art - dance, vocal, visual, performance, literary, film, and others.

This past year, in 2023, we connected librarians, firefighters and artists together with our Sister City Hamm, Germany. The results of their connection and conversations are two intriguing and  stimulating documentaries which will be shared throughout our communities beginning in June. 

We are proud to collaborate with Sister Cities International to create these artistic global relationships. 

This is a free community event - donations to support Barking Legs Theater’s programming welcome!
