Unstageably Fresh Gynt Production Preview

How do you stage something that’s seen by many as “unstageable?” With creative thinking and innovative artistic practices, it can be done! This is the challenge taken up by two short plays produced by RIT’s School of Performing Arts this fall in Unstageably Fresh Gynt. The only play Virginia Woolf ever wrote, Freshwater is a comedy that has been rarely produced because it was written with her friends and family in mind. This production opens it up to a whole new audience by including them in the inside joke. The second act is a brand-new adaptation of Peer Gynt based on the Henrick Ibsen classic. Often imagined as too epic in scale to be performed, this highly physical theatrical performance features 10 actors creating over 30 characters as well as all the landscapes and environments Peer travels to. Peer Gynt features a live soundtrack devised and created by Professor Joel Hunt and RIT students. At Brick City Weekend, see a preview of these two plays and then hear from the directors about how they are staging the impossible!
