THE SUN ALSO RISES
WORK WITH VRTC!
THE LARGEST VRTC SHOW. EVER.
Join VRTC as we embark on our most daunting project yet — an epic adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's masterpiece, THE SUN ALSO RISES. This production is an open-world immersive experience that we will bring to life in April 2027. As soon as we get back to campus in August, we'll be hard at work on this project, and we want YOU to join us! Let's bring this work to life!
About the show: VRTC's THE SUN ALSO RISES is a love story of the lost generation. Across the nightlife, lust, and liquor of 1920's Paris and the bullfights of Spain, Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley journey with a motley group of expatriots in a vulgar attempt to find themselves in the angst and disillusionment of post-WWI Europe. Simultaneous storylines erupt, combining Hemingway's text with myths of Ariadne and the Minotaur.
Interest form opening soon. Valley Road Theatre Company is not affiliated with Yale University.
