Constellation Stage & Screen presents Alex Gold: Stuck on Repeat
A fun-filled classroom adventure where the audience gets to make all the decisions! See it on stage April 26 – May 12 at the Waldron Auditorium.
11-year-old Alex Gold needs to repeat the 6th grade – maybe he shouldn’t have spent so much time watching superhero movies, playing adventure games, and drifting off into his own action-packed daydreams. Luckily, Alex has surrounded himself with some trusted friends (you, the audience!) to help him make the best choices to succeed! This one-of-a-kind classroom comedy blends improv and audience interaction, proving every day is an opportunity for reinvention.

Freda Love Smith is a writer and retired drummer. Her memoir, I Quit Everything, explores addiction, intoxication, and the twilight of her musical career. Her first book, Red Velvet Underground, documents a year of cooking lessons with her son and reminisces about drumming with bands including Blake Babies and Mysteries of Life. Freda grew up in Bloomington and currently lives in Evanston, Illinois.
Jeremy Reed is a PhD Candidate in the Indiana University-Bloomington Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology. At this event you’ll hear him read some excerpts from his forthcoming dissertation on festivals and the public sphere in Jordan. If you think you’ve seen him before it’s likely that you have seen him running around as a production volunteer and former staff member at the Lotus Education and Arts Foundation; have seen him pull out a freshly baked loaf of bread from his bag; or have seen him zipping around on a bright orange bike. In an effort to prove that dissertations can be interesting, he’s selected sections that deal with him grappling with public rumors, a national festival, and the limits of what is and is not allowed to be said in public in Jordan.
