RIZING is set many years after the zombie apocalypse in Shelter, the last living city on Earth. Infected family members, friends, and lovers have been rehabilitated thanks to a daily regimen of drugs and therapy, but the uninfected that have brought them back do not trust them. Now the drugs are starting to wear off, and Shelter’s two-tiered society is poised on the verge of all-out war. Characters on both sides must choose between rebuilding the world as it was and creating a new one by force.
In addition to RIZING's fresh take on a classic sci-fi genre, the gender and race of each of its characters is unspecified, giving the director and production team tremendous flexibility in casting, and driving home the play’s central themes of inclusion, marginalization, and shared humanity.
Audience Advisory: Flux's Living Ticket initiative requires no financial transaction. If you wish to support our work, please consider making a donation of any size. What’s a Living Ticket? This production continues our Living Ticket initiative, which makes Flux’s shows free for all to attend. Well, not exactly free: it costs a lot to create these productions, and we want to provide our team a living wage. So while you don’t have to pay anything, we encourage you to support Flux with a donation when you reserve your Living Ticket. To learn what it would take for us to pay a living wage, check out our Open Book program, which shares our production budget and suggests levels of giving.
