Between Floors
produced/directed by Jen White

Between Floors examines the human condition through a uniquely claustrophobic lens, intercutting between five stuck elevators and the people trapped inside them.

Awkwardly funny, numbingly tragic, anxiously crushing, and ultimately liberating, the film features a colorful variety of characters stripped of control, slowed to a halt, and forced to reflect... until the doors open.

Carmen

 

George Bizet's "Carmen"

The story of the fiery and seductive gypsy Carmen was first performed in Paris in 1875. Banned by the Paris Opera House because of its spoken dialogue, "Carmen" has become the most often performed opera in the world. Both movies and Broadway hit musicals have been based upon the music and
story.

"Carmen" features some of the most well-loved music in the world, including the sultry "Habañera," and the jubilant song of the toreador. It is jam packed with sexy solos, rousing choruses, impassioned arias.

The Rapides Symphony’s 2 hour concert production is replete with passion, jealousy and lust in the tale of two love triangles that revolve around a beguiling gypsy girl. Costumes and lighting enhance the visual and dramatic pageantry.

Because the dialogue is spoken and in English, the audience will be easily able to follow along with the story set in Seville, Spain, in 1830.
