After fifteen years, the show from between two shores returns! The FOB Show: FOBlematic blends traditional theater, improv, shadow puppetry, movement, and video multimedia to tell entirely new stories of the immigrant experience, seen through the Filipino lens. 

Taken from the acronym for Fresh Off the Boat  a term used to derogatorily refer to new immigrants (most often used by second- and third-generation immigrants in their own communities)  The FOB Show was conceived in 2004 by Dino Ignacio and Ryan Morales in the basement of the original Bindlestiff Studio. Themselves first-generation immigrants from Manila, they created the show as a way to upend the stereotypes and clichés surrounding not just Filipino transplants, but all who have had to leave their homes and loved ones to seek better futures in foreign lands.
