feature:

WANDA'S VISIT(Cast: 3m, 2f, 1s)
Written by Christopher Durang
Directed by Daren Domingos

An unhappily married couple have their relationship rocked by an 
obtrusive, uninvited guest in the form of the husband's high school 
sweetheart, Wanda. Wanda turns the couple's stagnant life upside down 
while nearly driving them insane. As the play progresses, Wanda's social 
Faux pas and abrasive personality make the couple almost relieved when 
she is kidnapped by two men directed by her kingpin ex-boyfriend.

WINTER FRUIT (Cast: 3m, 2f)
Written by Allison Menzimer
Directed by Samantha Malanche

Winner of the 2008 Kennedy Center Theater for Young Audiences 
Playwriting award, /Winter Fruit/ is a modernized re-telling of the 
Greek tale of Persephone's abduction to the Underworld. After being 
ripped from a familiar life of grass, music, the moon and a lover, 
Persephone befriends two of Hades' servants who attempt to aid her 
return to home "above". However, her imprisonment and resignation to 
being an ill-made queen fades her memory and Persephone's perception of 
what is "home" may very well change for good.

ARTIST DESCENDING A STAIRCASE (Cast: 6m, 1f)
Written by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Tom Kinstrey

Tom Stoppard's Artist Descending a Staircase is a comedic murder mystery 
focusing on three artists. When Beauchamp and Martello come home to find 
that their lifelong friend and colleague, Donner, has mysteriously 
fallen down a staircase to his death, the artists begin a series of 
flashbacks that uncover the truth behind their careers in art, their 
experiences with a beautiful young blind girl 50 years before, and the 
events leading to Donner's death.



The RPI Players is a student run community theatre. While RPI students 
are the primary participants in the organization, auditions and 
production roles are open to all community members.
