Vortex Repertory Company presents their 18th annual Summer Youth Theater production of R.U.R. Rossum's Universal Robots by Karen Capek.
Journey into a chillingly plausible future of artificial intelligence and human cloning in Karel Capek’s prophetic 1920’s play, R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots). Capek’s play introduced the term “robot” into the English language. Summer Youth Theatre brings this treasure of modern drama to life in a stylish new production, directed by Gabriel Maldonado.
The Austin Chronicle lauds VORTEX’s Summer Youth Theatre (SYT) as “The Best Theatre for Kids That Treats Kids Like Grownups”. Now in it’s 18th year, SYT has mentored hundreds of Central Texas students, teaming them with adult professionals to create many award-winning productions of great world literature including Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, The Visit, Vitriol and Violets: Tales from the Algonquin Round Table, Machinal, The Frogs, and Moby Dick.
R.U.R. features adult guest artists Daniel Sawtelle and Andy Agne. The Summer Youth Company features students from around Central Texas including, Cooper Acord, Ariel Atlas, Hayley Armstrong, Zeni Bechtol, Anjelica Hymel, Stephanie Lumpkin, Anissa L. McVea, Hannah Newcomer, Wyndham Shortt, Ismael Sobek, Xander Slay-Tamkin, and Cassidy Timms.
