'White Rabbit, Red Rabbit'

Pikes Peak State College Theatre Department presents WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT, an audacious theatrical experiment by Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour.

Will you participate? Will you be manipulated? Will you listen? Will you really listen?
With no rehearsals, no director, a different actor each performance, and a script waiting in a sealed envelope on stage, internationally acclaimed WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT, by Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour, is a potent reminder of the transgressive and transformative power of theatre. Forbidden to leave his native Iran, Soleimanpour wrote a play which traveled the world in his place. The audience joins each different performer on a journey into the unknown; stumbling upon the personal and profound, the limits of liberty and ultimately where theatre can take you. Since its joint premiere in 2011, the play has been translated into over 25 different languages and has been performed over 1000 times by some of the biggest names in theatre and film, including actors Whoopi Goldberg, Nathan Lane, John Hurt, and Stephen Fry.
