Description
Trap Door is the story of one US soldier’s experience in Iraq, comic and disturbing, compiled from innumerable recorded incidents into a single narrative. Based on Albert Camus’ L’Etranger, Trap Door is an opera in which the musical landscape expresses the pressing finality of death and the desperate need for moral and philosophical principles to guide one’s actions.

Composed by Lisa Scola Prosek, this production is directed by Jim Cave, conducted by Martha Stoddard,
and performed by Clifton Romig, Maria Mikheyenko, Mark Hernandez, James McGoff, Eliza O’Malley, and Bianca Showalter, with video sets by Jakub Kalousek.

“The Lyrics are full of striking imagery and metaphor, with satirical and dry humor. The music is compelling, rich, and fully realized.” -The Academy for New Musical Theatre
