Be a Host for Off-Leash Area’s 2025 Neighborhood Garage Tour

Do you have a two-car garage? Do you love the performing arts? Do you enjoy bringing people together? If you answered “yes,” then you could be a great host for the Neighborhood Garage Tour!

Off-Leash Area’s Neighborhood Garage Tour (NGT) is the company’s arts access program where the company travels from community to community with a truck full of lighting, staging, seating, performers, and more. Each weekend of the NGT the company transforms a typical two-car garage into a 40-seat black box theater, bringing joy, laughter, and wonder directly into metro neighborhoods.

A Garage Tour Host is a homeowner who, with our support, takes the lead in gathering an audience for the performances on a weekend of the tour. Hosts are encouraged to work with neighbors to help in their duties of promotion and getting the garage ready for the Garage Tour to arrive!
​
Off-Leash Area is especially looking for households where a person with disabilities resides, as Off-Leash Area’s mission includes working for equity and opportunity for all persons with all abilities.

Every year, past Garage Tour Hosts have asked to host again!
