from Victory Garden’s 2010 IGNITION Festival
March 30 – April 29, 2012
Zacek McVay Theater

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG when a group of eager young amateur actors attempt to dramatize the first genocide of the 20th century? Well…they MIGHT find themselves in just a BIT over their heads as they come face to face with the demons of our collective past…….

Direct from Victory Gardens’ IGNITION, the festival that brought you Pulitzer finalist The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity, comes this brave, chilling and very funny new work about a group of actors who lose control of their play and discover some startling hidden truths.

There will be a discussion following every Wednesday and Thursday performance with members of Victory Gardens artistic staff.
