Theatre of Sheep was a 1980s American New Wave band from Portland, Oregon that was very popular with local hipsters.Fact|date=February 2008 Musically, the band had much in common with stylish New Wave and New Romantic bands of the day such as Bang Bang and Boys Don't Cry featured on MTV. Notably, their 1983 release, "A Catholictic Earthquake", was produced and engineered by Greg Sage, leader of the Portland punk band the Wipers.

Rozz Rezabek is featured in the documentary film "Kurt & Courtney".

Formed in 1980 they split in 1984 but played several one-off reunion shows throughout the 1990s to much fanfare. They were fronted by Rozz Rezabek.

In the Summer of 2006 Rezabek and Haskett began compiling old Theatre Of Sheep songs, to create a Theatre of Sheep greatest hits CD. Produced by TOS guitarist Jim Haskett the CD contained remixed versions of fan favorites. "Old Flames" was released in the spring of 2007.

On December 15, 2007, Theatre of Sheep reunited for a show at Slabtown in Portland, Oregon.
