Narrator Nick Carraway engulfs the audience with his memories of the summer he unwittingly became the neighbor to his cousin's long-lost love, now turned millionaire. The ambition and single-mindedness of one man quickly exposes the cracks in the opulent veneer of privilege and power during the 1920’s.
Midstage Theatre Troupe presents Gary Peterson’s play adaptation of The Great Gatsby with traverse staging. Meaning the audience is on either side of the stage, facing towards each other, creating an intimate and immersive experience. In addition to our standard theater seating, we also have cocktail table seat options that include dinner served to your table at intermission.
Additional eats and drinks may be purchased at the performance, as supplies last.
Come early to enjoy mocktails, appetizers, and live jazz music. Doors open 45 minutes before showtime.
Join the party as you are or dress to impress - either way, we'll have a roaring good time!
Run time - Roughly 80 Minutes Plus a 20 Minute Intermission
As always, this Midstage Theatre Troupe production is directed, produced, and performed by high school-aged teens. The Great Gatsby (celebrating it's 100th birthday) is our 10th production since being founded by a group of students in 2016.
Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Denver, Colorado.
