The Plight of the Ruling Class is Insurgent Theatre’s forth major production. It’s our most ambitious project to date. These three plays push the envelope further than anything we’ve dealt with in the past. They have required a very strenuous rehearsal process and presented challenges for our directors, actors and hopefully, our audiences. Staging three serious short plays with full sets and scene changes in this limited space has been an exciting challenge and a lot of work. Fortunately, there’s been a lot of help. This production was a sort of trial run on tightening the organizational relationship between a handful of DIY theatre companies in this city. Mike from Alamo Basement made the show possible by taking on the directorial role for Cured and organizing two thematically related 24 hour shows using cast and writers from Plight. Juanita from Pink Banana helped out as Tracy’s stage manager. Jason from The Paris Business Review contributed to our promotional efforts. We believe these experiences have laid the foundation for a stronger cooperative of grassroots theatre production in this city.
