ROK's 9th Season

RUFUS AND RITA
​A New ROK Commission

​Composed by Lauren Bernofsky
​Libretto by Kelsea Webb
​
RUFUS AND RITA features the adventures - and sometimes mis-adventures! - of a silly dog named Rufus and his owner, Rita.  Through a "flexible libretto," the audience votes for what happens next at several points in the narrative.  The performers are given frequent opportunities for improvisation, in both the spoken dialogue and the singing.  Combined with the audience participation, every show is different!

Appropriate for all ages, best for elementary schoolers and families | Sung in English | 
​Performance length: approx. 30 minutes
WORKING TITLE
​A New ROK Commission

​Composed by Benjamin Dean Taylor
​Libretto by Kelsea Webb
​
WORKING TITLE is an innovative musical experience that returns musicians and audience members alike to the playfulness and limitless freedom of theatre!  Guided by audience suggestions, the musicians will craft an original opera, making up music, lyrics, and plot as the performance unfolds.  The audience enjoys a unique glimpse into the creative process, answering the question, "What goes on in the mind of a composer at work?" to blur traditional boundary lines between singer, instrumentalist, and audience member.

Appropriate for middle schoolers, high schoolers, and families | Sung in English | Performance length: approx. 30 minutes
