Opening – White Rabbit Red Rabbit by Nassim Soleimanpour
Various Locations in St. Pete and Tampa

A different actor is featured each night and no one, not even they themselves, has any idea what will happen. There’s only one shot to pull it off and anything can happen – it could be poignant or completely hilarious. You’ll have to come to American Stage find out.
