The title of this show, “Rabbits Rabbits,” is referential to a monthly tradition passed down to me by my family. On the first day of each month, the first thing one must say upon waking is “rabbits rabbits”. In doing so, you guarantee good luck for the rest of the month. It’s a somewhat difficult tradition, as it relies on one’s ability to remember a charm while still mostly asleep. This puppet show developed from a fascination with rituals such as these-traditions that are equally jovial and serious. What is it to try to control one’s environment in a world where so much is left up to chance-to luck?

I am immensely grateful to the excellent team of writers, devising members, puppeteers, fabricators, choreographers, musicians, designers, crew members, professors and producers that made this dense little show possible-as well as to the Sarah Lawrence College Theatre Program. It really does take a village, and I’m so happy that I have had the privilege of being a part of this one.
