Be prepared for audience interaction as children and sometimes grown ups will participate in creating live sound effects on stage, interacting with Olivetti the "robot."

Run Time: approximately 50 minutes

About the show:

Ophelia does NOT like her new home on the beach. She does NOT like the new people she meets, and she definitely does NOT like how alone she feels. But she does like inventing! When some mysterious parts show up, Ophelia builds a friend named Olivetti. With her robot by her side and with some help from the audience, Ophelia hopes to find the courage to face the stormy ocean and her inner fears.

Finding Deadrock: Dramaturgy Boot Camp Part 2

Crazy for You has two main settings: the bustle and shine of upper class New York City, and the dusty, dwindling mining town of Deadrock, Nevada. Just an hour south of Provo lies Mammoth, Utah, a ghost town that directly parallels Deadrock. So we loaded the cast into vans and went on a field trip!
