The Reavis Drama Department’s spring production of Figments is Thursday, Friday, and Saturday @ 7pm! Tickets are $5 for students and $7 for adults.
This show is a comedy with the audience and the set on the stage together! By doing this, we hope to create a fun, unique, and enjoyable experience for both our students and audiences alike. As a result, seating will be limited and advanced purchase/reservation is strongly encouraged, as the shows may sell out. If you can purchase advance tickets at crast.brownpapertickets.com There will also be a spaghetti dinner prior to our Saturday evening show from 5:30 - 6:30 where you can see our Children’s Theatre production, directed by Mr. Dennis Brumirski. Spaghetti dinner is $3 per person and can be purchased at the door.
For a brief description of the show, please see below.
“ Rick Jacobs is a playwright with a wild imagination, perhaps too wild! As he attempts to overcome a massive case of writer's block, the audience sees four figments of his imagination play out the opening scene of his next murder mystery. He, and they, are interrupted by the arrival of his neighbor, Loni, with whom Rick is secretly, and helplessly, in love. As Loni tells Rick about Matt, the man she is dating, and his attempts to speed the relationship toward the bedroom, the writer imagines the man as an eight-armed, human spider. Rick also conjures up doubles for himself and Loni, saying to each other the words he'd like them to exchange. The source of Rick's trouble with women, his domineering mother, arrives on the scene (along with her imagined double) carrying a burial urn with Mr. Jacobs' ashes inside. Pop pops in and out of Rick's thoughts to comment on his life with Mama and on the hereafter. Even the image of Rick's former ladylove, Sarah, comes around to encourage him to cut the old apron strings. As Rick's thoughts bounce between his frustrating love life and his play, the real people and the figments of Rick's imagination clash riotously with the fictional characters in his play. If you've ever wondered what goes through a playwright's mind, this farcical comedy reveals all, hilariously.”
