DHT

Los Angeles

DHT is a Harold team out of Los Angeles that is known for pushing past the traditional form and creating something unlike anything you were expecting. From uniquely creative edits, to songs, to monologues, to some of the most solid character and group work you can see, DHT is truly an experience.

Come witness the resurrection of one of the greatest Harold teams to ever come out of California.

DHT played weekly on the famed iO West mainstage for well over six and a half years. In this time, DHT became more of an institution than just a regular Harold team. The style employed by DHT is not one that is easily described. Sometimes a show needs nothing but silence. Sometimes a show needs nothing but fast tags. Sometimes a show needs nothing but one slow tear-jerking scene. DHT's job is to figure out what the show needs.

DHT is good at its job.

"...one of the finest Harold Teams iO West has ever produced."
