Bobbindoctrin's Garage Years consists of plays that could hold the attention of a nightclub audience in venues normally reserved for local and touring bands. BPT core members had decided to play these venues as a means to take their puppetry directly to the audience who would most appreciate it, rather than drag their asses out to a theater. Another benefit was the ready availabilty of alcohol, which helped the audience ease into the relatively novel experience of these plays.
At their premiere show, Bobbindoctrin opened for Miss Murgatroid, who would tour the Northwest together in the summer of 1998 with Petra Hadyn.
As Bobbindoctrin built up a base of several shows, they would bundle a variety of old and new productions for each performance, bringing back old favorites while trying new experiments. The typical evening of nightclub shows had anywhere between three to seven of the one-acts scheduled.
