Six characters, abandoned by their playwright, interrupt a theater company's rehearsal in the hopes of finally telling the story they each carry within them. This absurdist work once caused a riot when it was first performed! Weaving together the talents of the Resident Acting Company and Theatre students from Bloomsburg University, this new adaptation asks the question: "Who decides what stories are told and by whom?"
