ABOUT THE SHOW The Building Stage journeys into the woods, uncovering both the dark and absurd elements of this classic fairy tale about two children on their own, a house made of sweets, a murderous witch, and the perils of breadcrumbs. Adding to the fun are an expressionist oompah band, a 1960s pop crooner in lederhosen, and two guilt-stricken parents on a rescue mission. Performed in an immersive forest setting, "Hänsel und Gretel" is sure to melt the coldest of hearts on a long winter night.
ABOUT THE BUILDING STAGE The Building Stage exists to create original theatrical events that celebrate, mourn, explore, and question our world and ourselves. Serving as both a neighborhood theater and a cultural destination, we seek to combine an entertaining, approachable experience with unique and challenging artistic products. We aspire to contribute to the evolution of the modern theater as we rediscover the vital role that theater can play in American cultural life.
The Building Stage works from pre-existing sources that reflect the world we live in. We transform those sources through rehearsal, creating on our feet, with no separation between play and production. This process allows us to highlight the rapport that is created between performers and audience in the space and time of performance. Our pieces do not simply tell narrative stories; instead, they play with the boundary between poetry and prose, engaging the mind as well as the emotions, stirring the imagination as much as the senses.
Tickets are $22 for the general public and $12 for students.
The ticket price listed is the price you will pay; whether you purchase online or at the door, with a credit card or cash, there are no extra fees ever.
All Seating is General Admission.
