Georgetown University's Theater and Performance Studies Program
In cooperation with the American Studies Program
Invites You to
The Race
Conceived and Directed by Michael Rohd
WORLD PREMIERE
!
October 30-November 1 at 8 p.m., November 2 at 2 p.m., November 5-8
at 8 p.m.
In the Gonda Theatre at the Davis Performing Arts Center at Georgetown
University
As the 2008 Presidential election reaches a fever pitch, Georgetown
University's Theater and Performance Studies Program charts ever more
daring artistic territory with the world premiere production of The
Race, an interactive, wildly unpredictable and entertaining civic
theater project that is unlike any theatrical production you have ever
experienced.
Conceived and directed by Visiting Professor Michael Rohd, The Race
breaks down the traditional walls by incorporating a cross-section of
voices into an on-stage conversation about some of the most important
issues raised by the upcoming election: Who will vote for whom? Who
won't? Why? And most specifically, what does leadership mean today?
The show itself is a three-part event. Part One is a performance that
sets up the rules and questions for what follows. Part Two asks the
questions- and uses interactive media and deceptively simple
structures to involve the audience, and participants around the
country, in the conversation. And Part Three mines completely
different territory by marrying elements of a town hall meeting and a
karaoke bar.
The Race will also have a unique multi-media facet which will bring a
national chorus of people on stage via live video-conferencing to take
part in the discussion.
