Founder and Artistic Director, Casey Ross is known as a veteran Indianapolis playwright, through her time creating new works within the IndyFringe Festival. She first founded CRP in 2014, after a successful run at the 10th anniversary IndyFringe Festival.

And now, for something completely different...

We're about to start work on our *15* original IndyFringe production, and we are THRILLED to be bringing 2 BRAND NEW faces to the team, for LOLCow by Casey Ross!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

“LOLCow: Noun, plural—LOLCows...Internet slang—derogatory, in nature—for a person whose eccentric or foolish behavior can be exploited to amuse an audience.”

In a ‘wild west’ of morality, like the Internet, Luke prides himself in upholding his rules of what makes a deserving target for online trolling. He lives by standards such as “...great LOLCows are not good people”, until a fresh new scandal around his star subject, Jasper, brings to light all the flaws in having rules for navigating the Internet—because rules, and those who make them, are only made to be broken, online...

-----------------------------------------------------------------
LUKE...TONY THOMPSON
JASPER...DUSTIN MILLER

DIRECTED AND CONCEPTUALLY DESIGNED BY CASEY ROSS
-----------------------------------------------------------------

LOLCow is a play about the darker parts of ourselves found within society's new boom of technological autonomy...you know, like the comment section of YouTube, for example.

We are back for our FINAL WEEKEND of Catalyst Repertory presents Amadeus , tomorrow night, at IF Theatre.

"More allegory than history, the power of this production is tangible in its performance – so incredible that, like the Emperor, all we can say is a bewildered “There it is!” " -PWJ&J

Do not miss this show! We went hard with our brand focus and this is a BIG show in a small space, and that's leaving audiences flabbergausted by the talent of this cast and design team! We're right in your face, you get a real good look at all the artistry! Less than 75 tickets remain for the remainder of the run. You have 3 more chances, what are doing waiting?

It would mean a lot if you bid Vienna farewell with us. Only 75 seats over 3 more shows. Come see one or our BIG SHOWS in our fave small space.

How it feels to not have tickets for the last 3 showings of catalystrepertory’s AMADEUS.

This production has been so well-loved by guests.
And there are only 75 tickets left for the whole weekend of shows!

Don’t make your partner comfort you like Costanze is to Mozart in this production photo.

Come through and see the show everyone’s raving about online 😉
