THE PLAY:
With "Gripping! Full-frontal Nihilism!"- Kerry Reid, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, Polish novelist Maslowska explores the struggles of class and national identity with humor and pathos in her first play, A Couple of Poor, Polish Speaking Romanians. "Challenging but breathtaking expressionist theater...a gorgeous and off-balanced abstract piece about identity, class and xenophobia. Truly inspired performances from the entire cast." - Monica Westin, NEW CITY CHICAGO. We follow a bitterly comedic pair who set off pretending to be poor, polish-speaking Romanians while indulging their drug-induced fog with hitchhiking adventures through the countryside. As the high wares off, so do their personas and they are faced with the bitter realities of their very different identities.

THE TOUR:
The tour will include the Arad-Fun Underground Festival in Arad, and the 19th edition international student festival in Timisoara, one of the largest student art festivals in South-Eastern Europe. Michael Garvey, Trap Door's long time artistic partner, will also showcase his latest political piece "Letters to the President", at the events.

YOU!!!
Graciously, our company has received support for accommodations and meals but we need your help to fly a company of 10 from our glorious nation to the Eastern European splendor of Romania. We are very close to our goal!!
Rock It To Romania!
