RESERVE YOUR SEAT(S) HERE: http://bit.ly/RTCthisrandomworld SYNOPSIS “Affecting… the characters are drawn with empathy and humor, and the cascading series of coincidences neatly illustrates the idea that, as the title suggests, we are all hostages to chance.” A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR CAUSE WE’RE SUPPORTING ARTISTIC TEAM PERFORMANCE DATES COST OF ADMISSION VENUE « Virginia-Highland Church at 743 Virginia Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306 PARKING: There is free parking available across the street at Virginia Highland Elementary School.

We want to believe that serendipity brings us together, but is that just a myth? Mining the comedy of missed connections, This Random World asks the serious question of how often we travel parallel paths through the world without noticing. From an ailing woman who plans one final trip, to her daughter planning a great escape and her son falling prey to a prank gone wrong, this funny, intimate, and heartbreaking play explores the lives that may be happening just out of reach of our own.
– The New York Times
This Random World is an intriguing play about connections, near connections, and missed connections, among other things. There are very funny moments, sad moments, and a few sort of perplexing moments. I fell in love with this play when I first read it several years ago as part of a Zoom reading group. Everyone else in the reading loved it too, but I am the lucky one who gets to direct it for Renegade Theatre Company! – Director, Wayne Kelley
As with all of our productions, a portion of proceeds will be donated to a cause we believe in. For this production, we’re raising funds in support of The Carter Center. For over 40 years, TCC has worked in more than 90 countries to resolve conflicts, advance democracy, protect human rights, prevent disease, and improve mental health and support for caregivers. In ways large and small, The Carter Center strives to wage peace, fight disease, and build hope across the globe and here at home.
