THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO RISKY, RELEVANT, REAL THEATRE IN LARAMIE!
Did you know? Your ticket funds less than 1/3 of production costs. That’s intentional. We want RT to be accessible. Grants, corporate sponsors and public donations make this possible. Will you help compensate artists and ignite community dialogue in Laramie by making a tax-deductible donation to Relative Theatrics?
Season 11 programming is sponsored in part by Albany County and City of Laramie Community Partner Funds, and the Wyoming Arts Council, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Wyoming Legislature.
One in three uterus havers in the UK will at some point choose to terminate a pregnancy. Worldwide, the number is one in four. MISSION ABORT is the story of the human being behind the choice. Written in 2017, this explosive one-woman play is humorous and approachable. The relevance of this “devastatingly gracious and effective piece of theatre” has only increased since it was first conceived.

EXIT, PURSUED BY A BEAR
BY LAUREN GUNDERSON November 3-4 & 8-11; 2023 7:30p - LPCC Gryphon Theatre |
Nan has decided to teach her abusive husband Kyle a lesson. With the help of her friend Simon (acting as her emotional -- and actual -- cheerleader) and a stripper named Sweetheart, she tapes Kyle to a chair and forces him to watch as they reenacts scenes from their painful past. In the piece de resistance, they plan to cover the room in meat and honey so Kyle will be mauled by a bear. Through this night of emotional trials and ridiculous theatrics, Nan and Kyle are both freed from their past in this smart, dark revenge comedy.

BURST
BY RACHEL BUBLITZ DIRECTED BY KIM LOCKHART April 5-6 & 10-13; 2024 7:30p - LPCC Gryphon Theatre |
Sarah Boyd is an extraordinary human being. Not only did she build her company from scratch using nothing but willpower and fortitude, she also sits on the precipice of truly saving this planet. Because on top of being one of the fastest growing tech companies in history, Tactix, with Sarah at its helm, will usher this planet into the post-plastic era. A time where we need not worry or fret over the great destruction being done to our world from this non-biodegradable foe. With her eyes steady on her next round of funding, Sarah must persevere through a late night interview with a particularly tough reporter, a lawsuit aimed at a person from her past, and the waffling of her CTO. It's a heavy load, and Sarah knows that she is the only one great enough to bear it.
