August 2007: RITES OF PASSAGE THEATRE PROJECT

Rites of Passage is a celebration of youth, a transition, a vision quest, an event, a party and a show all rolled into one!

Tell me about the show:
It's an outdoor spectacle-filled theatrical show! A community-professional collaboration. An actual coming-of-age ceremony for youth theatricalized with music and dance... Youth volunteers who have never rehearsed with us will be taken from the audience, and brought to the underworld, only to return...if they can!
