The Voices Theatre Project is a Madison, WI based organization that produces readings and performances of plays that give voice to the voiceless; an opportunity to hear stories from those in our society that have been silenced. Proceeds of these pay-what-you-can performances are donated to local social justice groups. This organization started in 2017 with a production of THE EXONERATED, which raised $1500 for The Wisconsin Innocence Project and featured talkbacks with representatives of the UW Law School, Dean Strang of MAKING A MURDERER and others. We followed up with a 2020 virtual production of THE P***Y GRABBER PLAYS, as 20 actors from 20 different locations performed short plays to raise money to support Madison's Rape Crisis Center. Nearly $2000 was raised for that project.
WHAT'S NEW?
The Voices Theatre Project was never meant to be a "season-based" theatre. Rather, I decided to create productions as they came to my attention and carefully select things that spoke to me, especially because I am extremely aware of the competition for funding and audiences in Madison and Wisconsin in general.
When I found out that Afghan refugees would be coming to Wisconsin, I wanted to create a fundraiser to support organizations that were helping them resettle into new lives. It seemed time to revamp VTP. And I knew just the play to do it with.
WHITE RABBIT, RED RABBIT has intrigued me since I first heard about it. Imagine the ingenuity! So simple and yet so many possibilities. An actor stands before you, completely unaware of what they're about to do, is handled a sealed script, opens it, and performs. The possibilities are endless. And that's the magic of theatre.
We are keeping this as a virtual project because we know some folks are still concerned about safety (rightfully so) and because virtual theatre has the prospect of reaching a wider audience. We know you may not want to watch a virtual show, but this is pretty different from anything you'll have seen online before. A script, an actor, and a story. And no one knows what will happen.
As with 2017's The EXONERATED and 2020's early virtual production of THE PUSSY GRABBER PLAYS (before Zoom theatre was cool!), this production is the result of a diligent effort to utilize theatre as a catalyst for change, community, and support. We are thrilled to be producing this unique and fascinating work, and even more thrilled to be collaborating with Milwaukee's All-In Productions, so that the two biggest cities in Wisconsin will have the opportunity to support the refugees who are headed here to join our communities. Community is an essential part of who we are, and this show demonstrates it.
