Collaborative Theatre Challenge

Coordinator, Benjamin Gonzales bgonzales@ucmo.edu

Collaborative Theatre Challenge:
An Approach to New Play Development Through Design

In an effort toward continued opportunities for growth, development and collaboration among student theatre artists, Region 5 will offer the Collaborative Theatre Challenge (CTC) as part of Festival 52 in Sioux Falls.  Over the course of 2-3 sessions throughout the week, the CTC brings together student designers with a professional playwright in order to visualize a new play for the first time. Their work will then be displayed in the Design Expo at the end of the week.
 
This year, Region 5 is excited to welcome professional playwright, Rachel Bublitz as a Festival Special Guest. Read more about Rachel here.
 
Rachel’s new play Funny, Like an Abortion will be featured as part of Festival 52’s Collaborative Theatre Challenge, and will also receive a staged reading during festival week.
 
About the play: 
In this dark comedy, Monroe finds herself knocked up, and since abortions are illegal in the United States, she throws a surprise abortion party with her best friend Jade. Monroe prepares over twenty at home abortion options for them to sort through, neither will walk away until they select the best of all of these terrible options. But that's not all! Come on down for juggling, a tap dancing number, and a horrific view at what our future may hold.
