About
Before #RESIST, there was THE WHITE ROSE.
In 1943 Nazi Germany, a group of students secretly try to undermine the tide of hatred by disseminating leaflets calling for the people to revolt and bring back the glories of the real Germany. When caught, each extols the virtue of life, but won’t back down from certain death.

About Ubu’s Other Shoe & Staged Readings
A staged reading is a form of theatre without sets or full costumes and props. The actors read from scripts, sometimes using music stands. They may be seated, stand in fixed positions, or incorporate minimal stage movement.
SLO REP’s staged reading series is named after the infamous trilogy of plays written by Alfred Jarry (Ubu Roi) that were banned from the stage after riots erupted on opening night. Ubu’s Other Shoe pays homage to the spirit of Jarry and to all artists who strive to explore the fringes of their art. This exciting series exists to offer actors, directors and audience members an opportunity to experience incredible plays that do not necessarily fit into our regular main stage season. Thank you for taking this journey with us.
