ForeFront Theatre Company presents The Great Gatsby — as you’ve never seen it before.
This daring reimagining dives beneath the glittering surface of the Jazz Age to reveal the raw, beating heart of Fitzgerald’s iconic story. Performed by a cast of emerging local talent, the production asks timeless questions about love, obsession, and the cost of chasing the American Dream.
Told through a dynamic ensemble, the show blends the classic narrative and beloved characters with physical theatre and inventive staging. The performers themselves become the engine of the piece, creating an immersive, visceral experience that breathes new life into a story we all think we know.
Who is Gatsby, really? Can obsession — and love — destroy?
