Farabough grew up in Los Angeles and dropped out of school when she was 16; she first sought the company of visual artists, then theater.
The trip, which Farabough later described as a sort of "pilgrimage," increased their interest in aspects of religion and ritual (Bell 60).
A later group (still active today) to emerge from Snake was Antenna Theater; both were pioneers in the Bay Area of site-specific performance with productions such as Auto, Her Building, and Somewhere in the Pacific.
[2] In 1972, Farabough and her colleagues had dreamt of realizing their ideal project one day: "to create the Divine Comedy as an amusement park, complete with tour guides and animated circles of hell.
[4] She was featured alongside Spalding Gray, on the cover of Artweek in 1982 for her piece Obedience School at the Magic Theater in San Francisco.
