Darren's Miscellaneous Theater Work for 2015- 2016 (Table Readings, Short-Term Projects, etc.)

In less than 2 weeks, Darren will be doing his first play post-Glee (in the lead role).     I'm very interested to see fan reviews on this.   I would love to go!

So on August 29 (Monday), just four days from now, Darren will be performing his first play post-Glee, White Rabbit Red Rabbit.   I am so interested in his performance!

haha!    But seriously, I am interested in how he swings this.   Hedwig was good training.  Hope he gets a good night's sleep so he is quick.  

Darren is performing White Rabbit Red Rabbit Monday August 29 (officially today)!   Break a leg, Darren!   Hope you do well!

this is the part of the play where the writer told us to take a picture.  @whiterabbitredrabbit what an amazing experience!!!


I believe that the audience and the press were told not to give too much away about this play.  But some people have been giving some positive tweets about Darren's performance tonight. 

From dailydarrennews:



It seems that she was on stage with him near the ending. 

official_emma_b: I still can’t believe that I got to meet Darren Criss yesterday and had the chance to finish his show with him…






There was a crowd of fans waiting for Darren at the stage door.

Some cute pics of Darren at curtain call, and some nice messages.

@mindavis  Something I learned tonight is that #Darrencriss does a killer ostrich impression. He was a joy to watch in #w3r.




@Calhouner  Oh my god, speechless after @DarrenCriss in @WhiteRedRabbit. @A_lapenta and I were so amazed by the whole thing




klaine.5.ever  I can't even begin to describe how amazing tonight was. Darren is someone who I admire and look up to so much. To finally be able to see him in person and watch him perform was a dream come true. This man is so incredibly talented. I will never forget this night. Thank you, Darren, for being such an inspiration to me and so many others

Darren was amazing in White Rabbit Red Rabbit tonight (8/29/16). I feel so fortunate that I was able to see him in this show. Sorry for the less than perfect pic - he didn’t sign autographs but I felt like I got to spend the whole show up close and personal with him, so I didn’t feel too badly at all. And I was lucky enough to share the experience with @perryavenue. He is really one talented man.

White Rabbit Red Rabbit was such an incredible experience and Darren is a great sport and an even better performer. So happy to have been number 184 in this audience of 232!
(I know the first picture is blurry but it’s such a Darren Face I had to)

It takes a special kind of artist to have the guts to take a leap in front of an audience with no rehearsals and no set, and tonight’s performer is one such artist. The words Harry Freakin’ Potter may mean something to a few of you. We love him from Glee. We love him from How to Succeed and Hedwig. But *we* love him for being a fearless artist. He gives us hope for future generations.

Here are 17 unrepeatable moments from the run of the Off-Broadway play.

2. No director? No problem! Darren Criss decided to take on the role of director himself, challenging audience members to show off their acting chops and “count off” with silly directives—“with joy!,” “with anguish!”
