An American Theatre Project
conceived by Leda Hoffmann and Christian Ricci
works byO'Neill, Inge, Shepard, Wilson, Wilder, Newman, McCauley, Kaufman and Hart

Director
A Grinnell Independent Theatre Production, Grinnell College

An American Theatre Project began with the idea of exploring small town life through American playwrights.  Christian and I choose scenes from American plays that explored issues in rural areas.  The process resulted in an outdoor performance on the Grinnell College campus (in the small town of Grinnell, Iowa) by an ensemble cast.
