Recent Cutbacks presents a live, shot-for-shot parody of the first chapter of the most iconic fantasy franchise ever made, compressing 178 minutes of cinematic action into just 60 minutes. Three actors and a Foley artist band together to retell the epic story using live sound effects, exaggerated character impersonations, physical theatre, choreographed mime, shadow puppetry, and a makeshift wind machine. Performers Nick Abeel, Matt Zambrano, and Kerry Ipema remain on stage throughout, shifting seamlessly between roles within a ring of props, with Foley artist Kelly Robinson. The show is directed by Kristin McCarthy Parker and is suitable for ages 8 and up.
