Photo Flash: First Look at DIE: ROLL TO PROCEED at La MaMa

Running this weekend at La MaMa, Fri at Sat. at 10pm and Sunday at 5:30pm, in DIE: Roll to Proceed, imagine if you will a world unencumbered by the stress of decision-making, a world where you never have to wonder if you made the "right" decision. In DIE: Roll to Proceed, the protagonist George, in a moment of self-realization sparked by a recent explosive argument with his girlfriend Kate, decides to revoke his own right to choose the paths his life will take. He stumbles upon a solution to avoid the customary human requirement of making hard and potentially life-changing decisions: a six-sided die. Get a first look at the production in the photos below!

At pivotal moments in the play, the audience is called upon to break the fourth wall and roll the die on George's behalf. Each number on the die determines a specific path the show can take, and after an audience member rolls, the show proceeds in that direction. With the opportunity for the audience to roll throughout the show, there are 240 twisted ways this story can unfold, and all 240 versions are fully staged and scripted. Thanks to audience participation, George and his reclusive roommate Rob embark on a comical, strange, and seemingly unpredictable journey. Their fate… Your hands… Roll the DIE.

The cast features Joe Kurtz, Justin Anselmi, Robb Moreira, David Williams, R. Patrick Alberty, Mara Lileas and Jonathan Siregar. The creative team will also include David Williams (Assistant Director), Mara Lileas (Stage Manager), and Designers Christian De Gré, Cora Levin, Sarah Arnold, Elias "Uva" Diaz and Rachel Esterday. Christian De Gré, Ashley C. Williams and Ariana Paganetti will produce for Mind The Art Entertainment with Associate Producers Mikol Dise and Adrian Corral.
