BWW Previews: WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT at Baltimore Center Stage Promises Surprises for Audiences and Actors Alike

It's not often you have the chance to preview a show that's shrouded in such mystery, that even the cast doesn't know the full story. But that's exactly what happened in the case of WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT. This solo play written by Nassim Soleimanpour, follows a simple, yet possibly terrifying formula. A different actor is scheduled to perform each evening. That actor is finally given the script the moment the curtain rises. They have no idea of the plot or the story until they're standing in front of an audience. Fittingly, most of the audience isn't sure what the show is about either.

In a rare theatre occurrence, it seems that audiences who have seen the show have been keeping the secret fairly well. I've even searched online for a few spoilers and most reviewers refuse to spill the beans. That in and of itself is a surprise which makes the show that much more intriguing.

Luckily, Baltimore theatre-goers will be treated to this intriguing and surprising experience thanks to Center Stage who is currently producing the work. Center Stage has always been a jewel in the Baltimore Arts Scene, and the producers have been able to assemble an impressive roster of actors to take part in this experience. Activists, actors and Baltimore dignitaries are all lined up to ride the roller coaster that is WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT. With a cast of characters such as these, any performance is guaranteed to be memorable. Such a new experience in theater is always a gamble, yet based on the buzz the show is receiving in the Baltimore Arts community, I'd say it was a gamble worth taking.
