RUFUS AND RITA

​A ROK Commission
​Premiered Season 2016-17

​Composed by Lauren Bernofsky
​Libretto by Lauren Bernofsky
​
RUFUS AND RITA features the adventures - and sometimes mis-adventures! - of a silly dog named Rufus and his owner, Rita.  Through a "flexible libretto," the audience votes for what happens next at several points in the narrative.  The performers are given frequent opportunities for improvisation, in both the spoken dialogue and the singing.  Combined with the audience participation, every show is different!

Appropriate for all ages, best for elementary schoolers and families | Sung in English 
​Performance length: approx. 30 minutes

Black lives matter. 

As an organization, ROK is striving to know better and do better. 

As artists, we hear, see, and lift up our siblings of color. 

And as human beings, we sing out that we must reimagine not only what our art form can be, but much more; what our society must be, locally, nationally, and globally.

This project was made possible in part by support from The Puffin Foundation West.
Activities are made possible in part by the Brown County Community Arts Foundation, and the Indiana Arts Commission, which receives support from the State of Indiana and the National Endowment for the Arts.
