Synopsis

This is a devised piece, so a lot of the specifics will be determined through the rehearsal processes. This is going to be an experimental piece of theater, so please be aware of that going in.

As a team, we will decide what we want this show to be about, with a focus on current events and issues. We will decide who/what is in it, and how we want to go about it. This will be a very collaborative space. Improv experience is not required or preferred.

NoticesThis cast will be invited to do a second show in the spring semester outside of the theater department, with details TBD. Acceptance in this second performance is not mandatory.
