Watercress Theater (Friday, February 21st) Chair: Hironori Araki

I will be participating as one of the chairs.

Personally, I am interested in how much the color of the work will change if only the chairperson changes, and if possible, I would like to watch episodes with other chairpersons as well.

Whether you cry or laugh, it’s a performance. I will put everything I learned from this work into this one performance. thank you.

Arugulaza (Saturday, February 22nd) Chair: Hiroki Nanami

A festival that delivers theater with all its might! I’m excited, but also a little nervous about what will happen, so I can’t help but look forward to it. I will be serving as the chairperson of “Arugulaza” for one day only. Arugula is a delicious vegetable, so I want to do my best to live up to its name and fulfill its role. I’ll do my best, so please check it out! !

Parsley Theater (February 23rd, March 1st) Chair: Hiroki Nakata

I will be performing at the “Ikebukuro Sunshine Chairman Festival”.

I’m already shaking because I don’t know what will happen on stage, but I’m also looking forward to seeing a new side of the actor that we don’t usually get to see.

I will do my best to serve you, so please be patient.

Niraza (February 24th) Chair: Rei Fujita

My name is Rei Fujita and I will be serving as the chairperson for the “Ikebukuro Sunshine Chairperson Festival.”

On my way to a certain rehearsal, Kensaku Kobayashi, the general director, approached me at a certain coffee shop, and I thought it was a very interesting project, so I accepted it. I have a good relationship with the director, Rinou Kako, and I’m looking forward to working with him as director and actor. Chairman’s performance only for that day! We look forward to seeing all your smiling faces at the theater!

Chingenza (March 2nd) Chair: spi

The “Ikebukuro Sunshine Chairperson Festival” brings together passionate performers to deliver a moving performance. Enjoy a special moment with a variety of performances. The moment that touches your heart is waiting!

Planning composition/general direction Kensaku Kobayashi

I have never done anything like this!

That’s what everyone who will be performing has said, but it’s an event that I myself never expected.

It’s such a popular event that the chairperson, who is the core of the troupe, can only schedule on the day of the performance. So, we have never done anything like this, where all the members of the troupe are able to treat the chairperson wonderfully, and the guests can enjoy the brilliance of the chairperson!

So everyone! This, this performance is so interesting!

Directed by Kako Rinou

It’s not a daily guest performance, it’s a daily chairperson performance.

The chairperson has a theatrical spirit and a sense of fun, and the members are full of ability and individuality.

They are unmistakably foxy.

We hope that everyone, including the audience, can enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime performance!
