IF WE WIN

Creative Researcher Yannick Trapman-O'Brien wants your answer to what might not be a hypothetical question: "What would you do if you won the lottery?" IF WE WIN is a hands-on theater-thought-experiment in which you just might (but are statistically highly unlikely) to find out. Three participants at a time are asked to share their answers to that question as the kick-off to an exploration of Money, Wealth, and the ways they having (or lacking them) shapes our lives. With curiosity, humor, and a little outrage, together we each study our own relationship to the topic we’ve all been told we shouldn’t bring up at parties. In exchange for diving in and sharing their answer, the participants are given a scratch-lottery ticket with a payout big enough to make that dream come true. They probably won't hit the jackpot, but they might — and together, they scratch that ticket and find out what kind of story “might" has to tell. There will be surprising and even uncomfortable answers. There will be banter, jokes, and personal stories, along an open invitation to ask stupid questions about the needlessly complicated financial systems we live in. The experience lasts up to 80 minutes, and is accessible free of charge, by reservation. The 2021 Fringe Festival will take place predominantly in person. To help protect the health and safety of audiences, artists, staff, and our greater community, audience members are required to wear masks at all indoor performances. Additionally, all indoor FringeArts Curated events in the Fringe Festival will require proof of vaccination to attend. Audience members will be asked to show proof of vaccination before entering a performance venue. Accepted forms for proof of vaccination include a physical vaccine card with your name on it or a digital photo of your vaccine card on a cell phone. Please plan accordingly.
