News Soho Rep to Present No Dice Experimental Dinner Theatre in December Soho Rep will present the Off-Broadway debut of the Nature Theater of Oklahoma's latest experimental work No Dice.

No Dice was commissioned by Soho Rep in 2006; the production later played the 2007 Under-the-Radar Festival while still in development. No Dice has also been presented at the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival; in Portland, Oregon; and European engagements in Holland, Austria, Germany and Belgium.

Distilled down to a four-hour piece, No Dice, according to press notes, "is culled from over 100 hours of taped telephone conversations with actors, friends and family about their jobs, personal problems, aspirations and dreams… An epic of the everyday blown to transcendental proportions. The company filters the material of their own lives though the conventions of amateur dinner theater to arrive at a uniquely mind-altering experience." Nature Theater Company notes that ham sandwiches will be served to hungry audience members.

No Dice is conceived and directed by Nature Theater founders Pavol Liska and Kelly Copper. The cast comprises Anne Gridley, Thomas Hummel, Robert M. Johanson, Zachary Oberzan and Kristin Worrall. Music for the production is by Lumberob and Kristin Worrall, with production design by Peter Nigrini.

The Nature Theater of Oklahoma seeks to explore and push the definitions of what is theatre and what is performance. No Dice has been performed in various performance spaces including an abandoned Rite Aid, a hotel conference room and traditional theatres. Soho Rep is currently exploring possible venues for the unique December presentation.

Previous Nature Theater of Oklahoma presentations include The Chicken, Three Sisters, Kasimir and Karoline and Poetics: A Ballet Brut. No Dice begins performances Dec. 6 prior to its official opening on Dec. 8, and will continue through Dec. 31. Tickets are available by visiting www.sohorep.org.
