Heavy Balloon
Productions
A great poet once said "People like us- we play with a heavy balloon."

This quote encapsulates the sentiment behind the work we aim to create at Heavy Balloon Productions


About Us
Emma and Claire have been working on creative projects together since 2018 and plan on doing so until the day they die. They will die on the same day. Annnyyywayy. Emma Sarah Davis is the main playwright of the two with other plays including I'm Trash and So Are You, The Grief Department, and A Hanukkah Story. Claire has held a crutial editing role in all of these plays and has acted in several. Emma is more of the numbers guy and Claire is more of the ideas guy except on days when the roles are reversed. In 2024 two roped in a long time collaborator Sam Lane to be a resident director. The three have their roots in devised theatre practices including Action Theatre. While we work together in figuring out the muck of this world, we ask you to come along and step into a space that lives three inches above reality. Maybe from up here we can gain a little perspective.
