Event Details:

Ray has swum his way to the eve of the Olympic trials. If he makes the team, he'll get a deal with Speedo. If he gets a deal with Speedo, he'll never need a real job. So when someone's stash of performance-enhancing drugs is found in the locker room fridge, threatening the entire team's Olympic fate, Ray has to crush the rumors or risk losing everything.

Red Speedo is a sharp and stylish play about swimming, survival of the fittest, and the American dream of a level playing field -- or of leveling the field yourself -- by Lucas Hnath, the author of Walking Shadow's hit 2016 show The Christians.

Staged at an actual swimming pool!

Red Speedo runs approximately 80 minutes without intermission.

Organization Details:

Walking Shadow Theatre Company is a Minneapolis-based company with a reputation for producing well-staged and carefully researched work. We are drawn to shows that are smart, exciting, savvy—and often a little quirky or subversive. Walking Shadow has been called “a company that deserves attention” by the Star Tribune and praised by Minnesota Monthly for its “polished productions of incisive modern works.” Walking Shadow has performed at a variety of theaters in the Twin Cities since 2004, including the Dowling Studio at the Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis Theatre Garage, Pillsbury House, Red Eye, and others. The company also has appeared several times at the Minnesota Fringe Festival and occasionally produces site-specific, interactive shows with puzzles. The company is led by a trio of artistic directors: John Heimbuch, David Pisa and Amy Rummenie.
