What would happen if Santa Claus abandoned the North Pole? When a group of elves discover Santa’s famous red suit strewn across a chair, hilarious and heart touching chaos ensues as each elf embarks on a journey of self-discovery that helps them better understand the spirit of Christmas. This 60-minute devised piece of theatre will cause immense joy and move audience members through some of your favorite holiday music and the writing of this new work written by the students of the RCSA. ABOUT DEVISED THEATRE: Devised Theatre is loosely defined as the process of collaboratively creating a new work without a pre-existing script wherein the collaborators are also the performers. In the standard theatre model, a single playwright writes the text and then a director casts actors and selects designers to interpret that text, resulting in a theatre production. With Devised Theatre, however, the collective artists begin without a script. A devised piece of theatre can literally start with anything: a painting, a song, a real-life event, a novel to adapt, non-fiction interviews, a photograph, poetry, etc. Multiple ways to devise exist. This process requires great creativity, the need to work collaboratively, and the ability to create/learn new material to mount a world premiere production. ------ Don't forget to become a RaueNOW Member to save up to 30% on 2 of your tickets! *Prices vary according to zone.
