Columbia University School of the Arts is proud to present Der Ring Gott Farblonjet by playwright Charles Ludlam and directed by current student Phoebe Brooks.

A long time ago in an underwater kingdom, one ring of power was forged to rule us all. Unfortunately, a funny thing happened on the way to Valhalla: the ring gott farblonjet! Gods, giants, dwarves and valkyries must work together to put a pesky piece of jewelry back where it belongs in this comedic retelling of all four operas in Richard Wagner’s Ring cycle.
