Class Dismissed
Celebrates the exuberance of young minds imagining a future of possibility.
CLASS DISMISSED celebrates the exuberance of young minds imagining a future of possibility in an intellectually exhausted and emotionally self-absorbed pataphysical academia. Anticipate your (consensual) participation as we peel yuca, improvise dances, make butter, and invite the audience onstage to eat (bread), drink (Puerto Rican rum), write on the set (with chalk), and swap books (that they brought to the show). With live music, sing-alongs, and a different guest artist at each performance. This is the grad school you wish you went to!
Audience Role
Audience is encouraged to participate in the show but It's not required to have a full experience.
