The Poor Rich: A Work in Progress

Description

The Poor Rich: A Work in Progress Wednesday, January 12, 19, and 26 Doors 6:30pm / Show 7pm Ages 18+ / Seated Let’s break down the barrier between artist and audience! Gemma Soldati will perform and develop her original theatrical comedy piece, The Poor Rich with you, the live audience. Over the course of 3 performances (January 12, 19 and 26), Gemma will experiment, revise, and tinker with the 1-hour solo show based on feedback from the audience at each performance. Audiences are encouraged to engage in the creative process and help to shape what will eventually become the final product that Gemma will present throughout the US and the international fringe festival circuit. Synopsis of The Poor Rich: This interactive clown show about the absurdity of money and wealth is somewhere between a rousing game of monopoly and a rehearsal for our inevitable global economic collapse. How must we treat those poor rich? And what, then, to do with the poor? These questions and more may or may not be explored in this playful hour.
