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.
