2011/2012 Rice Alternative Series

One actor…
One audience member…
One blind date

Created and performed by REBECCA NORTHAN

Produced by KEVIN McCOLLUM

January 28 – February 19/12

in the Rice Theatre

A sensational improvised performance that is different every time, Rebecca Northan plays Mimi and one lucky man in the audience will play her Blind Date – for the entire evening. Direct from a critically acclaimed, sold-out New York run, Blind Date explores the sometimes bizarre rituals of dating and the very real emotions in the pursuit of love.
