Seven sacraments.  Three brand-new plays.  One cabin.

Elemental Theatre proudly presents
The Father, the Son and the Holy Go.Go,
the fourth installment of our annual Go.Go Plays New Works Festival.

The challenge: to write a play set in a randomly-chosen common locale - a cabin.  In addition, the three playwrights were each given three of the Catholic sacraments to use as they saw fit. The results are hysterical, heartbreaking, surprising, illuminating - the perfect way to begin 2010.

  • George Brant delves into the sexual secrets that couples keep from each other in The Cabin.  
  • Alexander Platt contributes RedPop, wherein a woman must reconcile a difficult past to make a decision about her future.  
  • And Dave Rabinow serves up Two Of Us, a forty-year love story set to the music of the Beatles.

Start your year off with Elemental, the theatre that the Providence Phoenix called "wild and whimsical... what theatre at heart is all about."
