Want to bring your life stories to the stage? Explore the Neo-Futurist style of using your unique voice to tell personal tales in creative and theatrical ways! Whether it’s using a homemade puppet to tell us about your best friend or transforming your school lunch disaster into an original song, a Neo-Futurist ensemble member will guide you in telling YOUR stories YOUR way! At the end of the week, you will perform up to 20 two-minute plays in a one-of-a-kind show for family and friends in CCT’s Pritzker Family Studio Theatre.
The Neo-Futurists are a collective of wildly prolific writer/director/performers who create:
Theater that is a fusion of sport, poetry and living-newspaper.
Non-illusory, interactive performance that conveys our experiences and ideas as directly and honestly as possible.
Immediate, unreproducible events at affordable prices.
Performance and educational programming that embraces those unreached or unmoved by conventional theater – inspiring them to thought, feeling and action.
