When she comes across a compelling man, she learns there’s so much more to him, and her than she realized. Yet everything he does goes against her supposed destiny. Who is Lydia Castane? Despite warnings from various people, she continues to see Friedrich von Nacht and finds herself mentored under his wing. She begins to realize he doesn't entirely follow his philosophy, and begins to question him. This leads to a culmination of betrayal and death for many that tried to warn and destroy her. Production Notes von Nacht was cast in April of 2026, shortly after the conclusion of our first show, Alice in Wonderland. We met for our first rehearsal at the CML: Canal Winchester branch. After that, we’ve spent many nights rehearsing, blocking, and choreographing the show. We met up at a park in 60 degree cold to practice combat for a few hours. Meanwhile, RRT board members took pictures of rehearsal and supported the cast from behind the scenes. After blocking and choreographing the show, we proceeded to run the show over and over again, adding in fight choreo and blood. Now, we’re here and ready to give an incredible performance! Featuring original music by Evan Quinn (search von Nacht whereever you listen to music).
