Theatre of Sheep vocalist Rozz Rezabek is featured in the documentary film Kurt & Courtney.

In the summer of 2006, Rezabek and Haskett began compiling old Theatre Of Sheep songs, to create a best of Theatre of Sheep CD. Produced by Jim Haskett, the CD contains 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.
