Performer Schedule Set for WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT at Fountain Theatre
Performances will run from May 12 to June 22.
Every night is opening night for The Fountain Theatre’s production of White Rabbit Red Rabbit, with 25 performers — actors, writers, teachers, artistic directors, community and faith leaders —set to appear in the global sensation by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour.
In this theater experience like no other, a different performer will step onto the stage at every performance and be handed a script they’ve never seen before. No rehearsal, no director. Wild and utterly original, White Rabbit Red Rabbit explores the restrictions, censorship and denial of individual choice faced under a harsh regime.
It’s emotionally vulnerable at times, hilarious at others, and always pushing the boundaries of what it means to be present: spontaneous, playful, interactive and unpredictable. Join the Fountain team for a piece of baklava and a conversation in the upstairs café after every performance.
