About the Show
"RED CUP" is an one-act documentary theatre performance inspired by written essays from Notre Dame students on the drinking culture in college, a culture often associated with "rest" or "leisure."
The play is inspired by the final papers written for the course Drunk on Film: The Psychology of Storytelling with Alcohol and Its Effects on Alcohol Consumption at Notre Dame. With a visual motif of the ubiquitous red solo party cup, and accompanied by a host of media references from films, ads, and social media posts, "RED CUP" tells the intimate stories of a small group of Notre Dame students, and the profound effect alcohol has had in their lives, from childhood through their senior year in college.
Roles Available:
(4 female roles, 2 male roles)
- Female life of the party, child of alcoholic father
- Queer female, working on sobriety
- Female caregiver, experienced sexual violence
- Female non drinker, experienced assault
- Male observer turned participant in drinking culture
- Male larger in stature, work hard play hard
