Production

35MM is a song cycle inspired by photography: how a still image can create a world, and interrogates the nature of how art inspires itself. It acts as a collection of stories that asks its audience: "Is a picture really worth 1,000 words?" (According to Ryan Scott Oliver & Matthew Murphy...yes.)

This particular production will be presented as a part of UMN Acting BFA's 2025 Free Play Weekend (Feb. 14-16). This is a weekend comprised of the BFA's senior class presenting their theses; most of which being performances spread amongst the weekend in the Rarig Center.
