Welcome to Coloropolis, where individuals are identified only by the color of their clothes. This is a constantly growing community, changing with every stroke of The Writer's quill. After setting the stage and providing their characters with "free-will," The Writer leaves Coloropolis to the whims of its inhabitants. What follows is an abstract, funny, biting, satirical "lord of the flies" amongst the Primaries and Non-primaries in their newly developing world. Despite its absurdity and humor, the play tackles a broad spectrum of issues societies face as they develop. Scenic design for Coloropolis is by Madylin Sweeten Durrie, lighting design is by Tor Brown, sound design is by Travyz Santos Gatz, and costume design is by Rachel Harmon. Projection design is by Anna-Katharina Benz, and properties mistress is Natasha Renae Potts. Makeup design is by Angela Santori, choreography is by Cj Merriman, and fight choreography is by Marc Leclerc. Education and outreach coordinator is Danielle Ozymandias, stage manager is Melissa Haas, and production photography is by Jennifer Brofer.
