Red Velvet is presented as part of Ohio State Theatre’s Raw Theatre Program. The program’s aim is to create new opportunities within the season by staging work with smaller casts, a compressed schedule, and a smaller budget. As with any professional company, the challenge becomes finding unique artistic solutions with intentionally limited resources.
