White Rabbit Red Rabbit / Blank
White Rabbit Red Rabbit at 3:30 pm
This show will be performed by Pritham Kumar.
This is a play shrouded in mystery. And the demand for secrecy comes straight from the playwright. It is a play that eschews the involvement of a director, of rehearsals and a set.
All we know about it is that after the third bell, the actor for that show (there's a different actor performing it every time) gets the script for the first time and has to perform. There is nothing between the actor and the audience - no directorial vision, no production design, no technical histrionics, all it has is a script - a strong (and complex) one - and an actor - a strong (and courageous) one.
With no rehearsal, no director, a different actor eachnight, and a script waiting in a sealed envelope on stage,internationally acclaimed White Rabbit, Red Rabbit is an audacious theatricalexperiment and a potent reminder of the transgressive andtransformative power of theatre.

Blank at 7:30 pm
Continuing the formal experiment that marked White Rabbit Red Rabbit, Nassim Soleimanpour brings us BLANK. In a joint effort between audience and performer, the gaps in the script are filled in to reveal a story that celebrates the human imagination. As formally inventive as it is engaging, Blank reverses the typical theatre experience.
A script riddled with blanks leaves the audience in charge of how the story will unfold. The concept might be simple, the result is nothing short of empowering, as a random audience member sees his or her future determined by the imagination of others.
