Devised theatre – frequently called collective creation – is a method of theatre-making in which the script originates from collaborative work by a performing ensemble. For this production, CU’s theatre majors, including those on the performance and technical tracks, have collaborated with instructor Jean Gerald Tartière to create an original work and features students’ original written work, collectively and thoughtfully crafted through improvisation, games and other activities.
Student performers include Alexzander Ernest, Rhiannon Pettigrew and Victor Rosario Quinones, Lawton; Natalie Small, Victoria Spruill, and Jaiden Standridge, Duncan; Gabriella Aguilar-Freeman, Oberkirch, Germany; Theo Cognet, El Paso, Texas; Skylar Edwards, Las Vegas, Nev.; Tamia Johnson, Graceville, Fla.; and Ryan Kaye, Greeley, Colo.
Pettigrew also serves as stage manager, with Spruill support as assistant stage manager. Abbey Kirbey, Lawton, assists the production as light and sound board operator.
Tartière serves as the production’s director, with assistant professor Ben Williams acting as technical director and scenic, sound and lighting designer. Susan Furtado serves as box office manager.
The production is recommended for mature audiences only and may contain content that some audience members may find objectionable.
