Unique Theater Performance Features John Lemley from WABE

In a showing of “White Rabbit, Red Rabbit” co-produced by the Marcus Jewish Community Center in Dunwoody and Out of Hand Theater, Atlanta NPR’s music host John Lemley will perform a cold reading of the script on-stage at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25.

Written by 29-year-old playwright Nassim Soleimanpour while he was forbidden to leave his home country of Iran, “White Rabbit, Red Rabbit” is a unique experiment in theater that produces a new experience with every performance.

“Each performance is a world premiere,” Adam Fristoe, Co-Artistic Director at the Out of Hand Theater, said in a press release. “A different actor reads the script cold for the first time at each performance. A thrilling, informative, highly individual and extremely entertaining encounter emerges, almost like magic, with a young writer who has more questions for his (fictional) audience than answers.”

Performances of “White Rabbit, Red Rabbit” have appeared in venues around the globe, from Amsterdam and Cairo to Melbourne and Rio de Janeiro.

Lemley will perform his reading of the play at the community center’s location at 5342 Tilly Mill Road in Dunwoody.

Tickets for this event can be purchased online for $20 here.
