Kabuki Theatre

This year we will be introducing the cast to a style of theatre done in Japan called Kabuki Theatre. More specifically, we will be implementing a specific element of Kabuki theatre, that of the Koken or Kurombo - who are stage assistants dressed in black, in our production.

The Koken or Kurombo are there to help the actors with props, costumes and other things, and are in full view of the audience when doing so. Come to the show to see how we will utilize this convention of Japanese theatre in our production.

We have enlisted the help of some High School students who will undertake the role of the Koken or Kurombo for us.
