Hollywood Fringe Festival 2017
Ripley’s premiere genre brings epic dystopian storytelling to life on the stage, honoring popular titles such as Hunger Games, Divergent, and A Handmaid’s Tale. In each performance you can expect to find your protagonist battling the evil powers that be as well as her own hormones. What might otherwise be a silly exploration of teenagers in a bleak setting often turns into a heartfelt commentary on everyone’s unique ability to rise to the challenge and affect change.
Directed by Amanda Troop.

Audience reviews from HFF2017:
“Raucously funny to viscerally upsetting and tragic, and back again.”
“A cast of magnetic players taking control of the stage and creating side-splitting humor as well as high drama – all improvised off a word. True showmanship!”
“See it! It’ll be new each time. This is improv for theatre and movie lovers.”
“The execution of this story was done totally IMPROVISED… whaaat? These girls pulled off an awesome cohesive storyline that myself and a lot of the audience surely thought was scripted. Many laughs, many intense moments and such professionalism.”
“Tight, coordinated and SMART. This team knows what they are doing and pours it on throughout hour (which goes by way to fast).”
