Creating Absurd Hero began in late 2024, when a small idea about Sisyphus, Camus, and modern-day politics started rolling, like a certain boulder. Less than a year later, we debuted the show at the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, opening the festival at the Greenside Gala before settling into our run at Greenside @ Riddles Court. Over the course of two weeks, we delivered nine performances.

Everyone enjoyed the show, perhaps our small troupe from Denver most of all. For many, it was their first trip abroad, but everyone dove in with enthusiasm. After all, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest performing arts festival in the world. Standing up a brand-new musical in less than a year takes more than talent; it takes people who can work together, trust each other, and push in the same direction. We became a tight-knit team, proving that there’s always more we can do together than alone. Musical theatre may be fleeting by nature, but it’s worth pausing to look back at the milestones along the way, each one a reminder of why we roll the boulder in the first place.
