THE STORY: Twenty years ago, Pastor Paul's church was nothing more than a modest storefront. Now he presides over a congregation of thousands. Today should be a day of celebration. But Paul is about to preach a sermon that will shake the foundations of his church's belief.
A big-little play about faith in America—and the trouble with changing your mind.
The Play will be performed in the Aspen Chapel with a spirit raising choir and
YOU THE AUDIENCE PLAY THE CONGREGATION!

Readymade

 
“Accessible and Provocative” 
- San Francisco Chronicle  

"Readymade sparked a sense of imagination and gladness
that continued off-stage" 
​- Baywatch

Inspired by Marcel Duchamp's art theory
by the same title,
Readymade is an evening-length dance performance involving six performers and an elaborate set magically created from commonplace materials.

by Lucas Hnath
​
“… smart, funny and utterly engrossing”--NY Times
 
“…explosive laughs… ingenious …with unfussy eloquence, the play asks how much, in a century-plus, life has changed for Nora and women like her in a world that often still has firm ideas about where they belong.”
--Hollywood Reporter

Lucas Hnath’s hit Broadway play received eight 2017  Tony Award nominations
 including Best Play (Lucas Hnath), Best Actor (Chris Cooper)and Best Actress (Laurie Metcalf).  Metcalf won the 2017 Tony Award for Best Actress. The Play is ingeniously modern yet picks up after Henrik Ibsen’s "A Doll’s House" concludes.
THE STORY: In the final scene of Ibsen’s 1879 groundbreaking masterwork, Nora Helmer makes the shocking decision to leave her husband and children to begin a life on her own. This climactic event—when Nora slams the door on everything in her life—instantly propelled world drama into the modern age.
In A DOLL’S HOUSE, PART 2,
many years have passed since Nora’s exit.
Now, there’s a knock on that same door. Nora has returned. But why?
And what will it mean for those she left behind?

​In 1917 Duchamp turned a porcelain urinal on its side and infuriated the art world that argued “dignifying commonplace objects does not make them works of art”.
Readymade is not about Duchamp's work, but instead aims to invoke his iconic idea
of do-it-yourself power to reshape one's own life by changing how we view things.
Choreographed by Artistic Director Tanya Chianese.
