Join us For our 8th year of quality, thought-provoking theatre
Theatre in a Pandemic. There isn’t a standard protocol for presenting the art form in this medium under the current conditions. Even so, at Relative Theatrics we are committed to our mission, regardless of the circumstances, presenting thought-provoking theatre that examines the joining qualities of the human race. Taking artistic risk, we provide a community gathering space where thoughts can be exchanged about society, culture, and the power of creativity. We believe that there is no barrier to which we cannot find a creative solution; and we aim to prove that to you this season.
Throughout 2020-21, we plan to bring you a hybrid selection of live and virtual productions, executed with the utmost care and responsibility for the health and safety of our artists, our patrons, and our community. With new information coming to us at a rapid pace, we are drafting flexible programming plans that can swiftly adapt to immediate needs.
In a continued effort to promote diversity and gender parity on American stages, we are assembling a season of new plays by women+ and BIPOC playwrights. By diversifying the voices behind the work we present, Relative Theatrics tells stories of a wider range of individuals that better reflect the world in which we live. This creative endeavor furthers our desire to end the systemic oppression against vulnerable communities and underrepresentation of marginalized voices in the American theatre. Show your support as we empower artists and community alike, creating dialogue around important societal topics and strengthening the cultural vibrancy of our lives.
We hope you will join us for our 8th year of quality, thought-provoking theatre, whether live or at home.

World Premiere - Commissioned by The Wyoming Arts Council
AND THE WIND HOWLS
BY LEANN KIM TORSKE September 4-13, 2020 - Virtually Jen returns to her small Wyoming hometown after an eye-opening first year of college. She wants a different life than her family had, but she’s decided that Wyoming might not be so bad after all. Her best friend Amber can’t wait to leave. The one thing they agree on is that their small town has never felt so small. Inspired by Wyoming’s history of trailblazing women, Jen buckles down to create social progress, change local politics, or if nothing else, show her mom that a rough-talking, hard-working Wyoming woman can shift the way the wind is blowing. AND THE WIND HOWLS was featured at the Wyoming Arts Council 2019 Summit.

RIDING BICYCLES IN THE RAIN
BY ERIN CONSIDINE April 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24 - 2021 Just outside of Nowhere sits a small farmhouse. Just inside that farmhouse sits an old marine with a lousy attitude and a heart bypass. Brady returns to both the farmhouse and the father she thought she’d left behind just long enough to get him back on his feet. While Brady is stagnating in suburbia she meets James, and together they ponder God, armadillos, and the possibility of falling in love. An intimate new play with well-paced dialogue and nuanced humor, RIDING BICYCLES IN THE RAIN was included in the 4th Annual Playwrights Voiced Festival.
