Our production of The Fantasticks sought to create everything from craft materials: paper, glue, paint, and cardboard. We were particularly interested in how this company of actors “plays” the show and uses whimsy to explore these profound themes of maturity, love, and the false happy ending that we all seek in life. Our production sold out 5 performances in Stanford's 90 seat Elliot Program Center and was named one of "Stanford's top 5 on campus productions of 2014" by the Stanford Daily.
