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
