Secessionville

American Theatre Arts in association with The School of Design, Management and Technical Arts presents

Secessionville
by Steven Dykes

What are we to make of petitions from seven states to secede?  They bespeak a bristling hostility to the federal government and a dislike bordering on detestation of some Americans for other Americans, as deep as it was in 1861 ... “Can we all just get along?” Well, if we can’t, we can at least dwell apart. After all, it’s a big country.
Pat Buchanan  
 
Secessionville is an epic play with music and video projection, following the lives of twenty citizens as they navigate the impact of 'Long Division' on their country.
 
Suitable for those aged 16 and over. 
This performance contains strong language, violence and mild nudity.
