The Lastest News and Updates

Friday, July 10, 2009

From writer/director Lauren Reinhard comes an exciting new project developed with support from the Rapscallion Theatre Collective. RAPTURE: The Death Play is the first installment in a series of plays written surrounding the ideology of the Seven Holy Sacraments. The Sacrament Plays are seven plays in total, one play devoted to each of the Sacraments. The cannon as a whole take the Sacraments, the seven most important things a person does in their life, and boils them down to one single second: the seven most important seconds in one persons life. RAPTURE: The Death Play starts our journey at the ending point, exploring what a life comes down to at the very end, and ultimately what tears it apart. The Sacrament Plays will be developed over the course of the next five years, so check out each installment to see what we're up to and what moment we're disecting next, up first: death...dismembered.
