About the Program
This in-process workshop of Rogue Artists Ensemble’s latest theatrical work in development, HAPPY FALL: A Queer Stunt Spectacular follows a queer closeted stuntman’s journey to discover himself in a world of faux masculinity, unmasking the importance and danger of being true to oneself. HAPPY FALL is based on true-life stories and direct testimonies, and illuminates issues of racial and cultural identity in Hollywood. This workshop will focus its exploration on stage stunts in preparation for its full production later in 2024.
