RTC: Off The Tracks!

About this event

RTC: OFF-THE-TRACKS, an ambitious, high-energy theatrical experiment that will challenge the returning RTC cast and production team to create two entirely new mystery shows in just five days each. The mystery musicals will be revealed to both the cast and the public simultaneously via livestream. With no scripts in advance, no character assignments ahead of time, and minimal and make-shift sets, props, and costumes, the returning performers will have just five days—from Sunday night through Thursday—to rehearse each newly announced production before presenting five on-book performances over the following Friday through Monday for each. “We wanted to challenge ourselves and try something new with this company of actors who have dedicated so much to The Cyclone for these past two years. It’s not going to be perfect, and that in itself is all the fun!” from Executive/Artistic Director Hillary Brook. The twist? Neither mystery production will resemble Ride the Cyclone. The cast will be challenged to step into unfamiliar material, embrace the unexpected, and deliver fully realized performances under extraordinary time constraints. It’s a theatrical pressure cooker fueled by spontaneity, collaboration, and the thrill of witnessing the chaotic beauty of what can happen when actors are pushed beyond their comfort zone.
