- 2024/25 Season > The Event!
By Lava Alapai, Linda Alper, Anthony Hudson, Daniel Kitrosser, Susannah Mars, Josie Seid & Luan Schooler
Directed by Luan Schooler
Welcome to Cabbotville! Step right into this quaint Oregon town grappling with hard times since the logging mill closed. Enter Rudy, a queer kid whose disappearance leaves the whole town flummoxed. Did he run away? Perhaps he rode off on a magical ostrich? Or, could his disappearance be linked to something a little more out of this world–like a close encounter of the Third Kind? The Event! is a delightfully playful experience (maybe with a slight naughty twinkle) filled with surprising twists and turns. If you need a play that will be a sanctuary of laughter and optimism, this is the show for you!
MORE TO KNOW
All seating is general admission. What you may not know is that The Event! is an immersive and interactive experience! This means that the actors will be moving freely through the entire space, including interacting with the audience. Audience members will have the opportunity to choose how and how much they want to participate. Participation could be as simple as reading a line in the play or adding a piece of costume to an actor. There may even be a chance to dance! 🕺 Don’t worry if you’d rather just observe the play and not participate. No one will be pressured to participate if they don’t want to.
