OCT's Young Professionals to Present THE WRESTLING SEASON
by BWW News Desk - October 06, 2015
"You think you know me, but you don't."  An unsubstantiated rumor about two close friends, Matt and Luke, ignites the action in this account of how complicated it is to be a teenager today. Rumors of one person's sexuality compounds more rumors about other students-as the humor and turmoil of high school play out on a single wrestling mat. The action is overseen by the Referee, who officiates with hand signals and commands. Using images, movement, and sound, each individual's stories are interwoven to create a theatrical event that challenges and reveals their search for identity in a world that keeps shifting underneath them.
