The Gedanken Experiment and O Come All Ye Faithful
by NEIU student Rand Ringgenberg
Director- Donna Goering
Assistant Director- Kimberly Hong
Stage Manager- Yesenia Ortega
Narrator- Nickolena Sellen
Graphic artist- Sue Dunmore
The Gedanken Experiment
is an experiment carried out in thought only. A mental exercise, if you
will, that is meant to consider a specific hypothesis, such as is there
life after death. Where do we go? What happens to us, and does our life
affect our afterlife? Do we have to answer for our actions? What
if each of us was simply boiled down to our desires, our sins; our
seven deadly sins? The Gedanken Experiment, a provocative new play in
development by emerging playwright Rand Ringgenberg, asks all these
questions and more.

O Come All Ye Faithful
looks at a typical American family Christmas celebration; or maybe not
so typical. The family comes together for the holiday to exchange a lot
more than presents. A warm and touching play that will make you laugh
and cry as the family struggles with their different points of view on
religion, homosexuality, divorce, oyster stew, and how to win at
monopoly.
