Armed only with a few enchanted objects and the glittering words of F. Scott Fitzgerald, a shape-shifting ensemble creates the world of “The Great Gatsby” in this fiercely theatrical adaptation.

Gatsby's party is over, but Nick Carraway is the one who has to clean up. It's not easy to gather the empty glasses and abandoned shoes when each evokes a memory, and the memories aren't easy to sweep away either — especially not when Jordan Baker remembers them differently.

They revisit the story of Gatsby, Daisy and Tom, as well as their own complicated past.

The director and producer is Jennifer Bronder with Jeannette Adams as technical director; Michelle Rhodes, costume designer; Scott Emmel, sound designer is; Veanna Pollard, lighting designer; and Emily Cramer, choreographer and movement adviser.

Student directors are Kelsey Miller and Ciarra Osborne.

The stage managers are Abigale Butler and Maggie Powell.

Stage crew members are Phoebe Barnett, Cooper Belak, Emily Boltz, Abigail Cebollero, Mia Cristillano, Koolbie Fredley, Caden Hassler, Marlenna Hassler, Ezra Kenyon, Samantha Lawson, Kale Meyers, Kelsey Miller, Ciarra Osborne, Greyson Rhodes, Cooper Snow, Molly Snow and Parker Snyder.
