Performance Lineup

The show spans a series of performances over four consecutive days in late May, each day spotlighting a unique artist known for their fearless creativity. On May 23, audiences will see Candy Clark, whose impressive filmography includes American Graffiti, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Blue Thunder, Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye, and At Close Range. With credits exceeding 70 films and television projects, Candy’s long-standing career is a testament to her versatility. Recently, she expanded her creative portfolio with the publication of her Polaroid photography book, TIGHT HEADS.

With notable acting credits in Detained at The Fountain Theatre – a performance that earned his ensemble a 2024 NAACP Theatre Award for Best Ensemble – Theo has also lent his voice to the lead character in Madden NFL 24. Honored with the 2025 NJ Governor’s Award for Arts Education, his commitment to empowering young talent makes his contribution to the production all the more significant.

May 25 features Ellen Geer, a stalwart of the stage and screen.

Her film credits, such as Harold and Maude, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and Heart Like a Wheel, reiterate her enduring impact on the arts.

Spotlight On Sharon Lawrence

Concluding the lineup on May 26 is multiple Emmy-nominated actress Sharon Lawrence, celebrated for her iconic role as Sylvia on NYPD Blue. Her expansive career bridges both television and theater; from acclaimed stage productions like Cabaret, Fiddler on the Roof, and Chicago on Broadway to Off-Broadway performances such as Pen Pals, Tongue of a Bird, and Love, Loss, and What I Wore. More recently, Sharon has drawn high praise for her one-woman show, The Shot, which has been performed at diverse venues ranging from Center Stage in Santa Barbara to the United Solo Festival Off-Broadway. Her presence in White Rabbit Red Rabbit underscores the production’s commitment to showcasing artistry that is both seasoned and innovative.

The Theatrical Experiment

White Rabbit Red Rabbit is much more than a traditional play. It is an immersive experiment that challenges conventional theater norms by inviting the audience into a dialogue about art, performance, and the ephemeral nature of live experience. The production is known for stripping away elaborate stage setups and relying on the raw energy of the performers instead. With each actor bringing years of expertise from film, television, and stage, the show promises an evening of unexpected moments and daring improvisations.

Critics and fans alike have noted the production’s potential to create buzz on social media, where early posts have already highlighted the passion and dedication of the cast and creative team. In a recent Instagram post, Sharon Lawrence’s handle (@sharonelawrence) was tagged alongside other luminaries, reinforcing her longstanding reputation as a powerful presence on stage and screen. Furthermore, past appearances on platforms such as Instagram have provided fans with glimpses into her dynamic energy, whether it is during intimate rehearsals or high-energy performance galas.

A Night Of Bold Artistry

More than a simple theatrical performance, White Rabbit Red Rabbit is a celebration of art that intersects with raw emotion and intellectual inquiry. The event not only pays homage to venerable figures such as Candy Clark and Ellen Geer but also spotlights newer voices like Theo Perkins, whose work in arts education continues to influence the creative community. The program’s eclectic array of talent ensures that each performance is a unique exploration of personal narrative and artistic risk.

Tickets for this daring and innovative production are available now via the link in the show’s promotional bio. Theater enthusiasts are encouraged to secure their spot early, as the intimate venue setup promises a close-up view of the live, unfiltered performance that defies easy categorization.

As the curtain rises on this bold experiment, audiences can expect an evening that transcends traditional theater boundaries.

The production is a reminder that the arts are not static; they evolve with each performance, with every new interpretation offered on stage. As the actors lace up their creative boots and step into the spotlight, they invite the audience to not only witness, but also to participate in, a moment of cultural reckoning and renewed artistic promise.
