IRT Announces Collaboration with Local Artist

INDIANAPOLIS — Artist Kyle Ragsdale has partnered with the Indiana Repertory Theatre to create unique works for each of the plays they will present in the 2014-15 season. “For the work I did for the IRT I wanted the viewer to be a part of the storytelling, purposely only hinting at what the play represents and allowing each person to be drawn in and become interested in the play. The plays this season are amazing and I really wanted my work to be awesome — not only for me and the IRT, but for the audiences,” said Ragsdale.
