Abstract
This is a documentary covering a trip taken by several U.N.O. students in May of 2015. The students took a 60-minute collection of modern American playwrights and performed at the Po saule Theatre Festival in Siauliai, Lithuania. This documentary shows a breakdown of their scenes from rehearsals to the final performance in Lithuania. It also describes the process of taking a show internationally, and includes interviews from several performers and their mentors from both Omaha and Eastern Europe. My hope is to encourage and assist others that are interested in a similar undertaking but need some guidance.
