Pickles, a foul-mouthed, overweight guinea pig, wakes up in a cage at a pet store in Jersey with no recollection of how she got there. Only one thing is certain: she is determined to get the hell out.
Founded in 2000, the Performance Garage is housed in a historic 19th-century building that was originally a horse stable. Since 2002, the façade and interiors were renovated, and the space was transformed into supportive non-profit dance studios with residencies, educational programs, and a 110-seat dance theater.
