White Rabbit Red Rabbit by Nassim Soleimanpour

No director. No rehearsals. One actor.

A new actor every night.

A script sealed in an envelope.

At each performance, a different actor will take the stage. They will be handed a script they’ve never seen before, and the audience and the actor will embark upon a theatre experience like no other. 

In the hands of a different actor every night, White Rabbit Red Rabbit takes audiences on a new adventure with every performance, depending on how the author’s words compel each actor to perform. 

This stark and incredible piece of theatre embraces comedy and tragedy in a way that will leave you on the edge of your seat, and with a cast of incredible Denver actors, this is a piece that you won’t want to miss.
