Crack

Written and Performed by Rob Baker

Dramaturged and Directed by Andrea Donaldson

It's a long walk (16 blocks each way, I've calculated.) This is the third time you and I have made this trip tonight (96 blocks in all.) Probably the fortieth time in the last two and a half months (1280 blocks!) No one can tell me the addict doesn't get his exercise.

Rumble
Written and Performed by Paulo Ribeiro

Dramaturged and Directed by Heather Lindsay & Billy Marchenski

They made us play inside because it was, snowing like crazy outside and we were like, wimpy. But the real reason is when anyone did play outside, they came back bleeding from gravel and ice. Despite whatever words were said, the reason why was clear: It’s a war out there and we’re not ready.

Saturday December 17 Sunday December 18 @ 8pm

- for Crack -
The 27th Rhubarb! fest is now history, though some of those early shoots may grow again…Certainly, some of the productions should get more stage life…Standouts that week were Rob Baker 's Crack , directed by Andrea Donaldson , which took us deeply, upsettingly into the life and head of a crack addict. JON KAPLAN, NOW MAGAZINE FEB 2005

Reason can never answer the deepest questions of the spirit. Art doesn't always answer them either, but it can pose them in a compelling way- as it does here.
