Cleveland Public Theatre Presents 44 PLAYS FOR 44 PRESIDENTS
By: A.A. Cristi Sep. 30, 2016
Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) is proud to announce the regional premiere of 44 Plays by 44 Presidents, written by Andy Bayiates, SEan Benjamin, Genevra Gallo-Bayiates, Chloe Johnston and Karen Weinberg (of the Neo-Futurists). The CPT production is co-directed by Dan Kilbane and Caitlin Lewins. 44 Plays by 44 Presidents is onstage October 6 through 29th in CPT's James Levin Theatre.
Originally developed and performed by Chicago's acclaimed Neo-Futurists, 44 Plays by 44 Presidents is a high-energy, poignant and delightfully absurd biographical survey of the lives and presidencies of each of the 44 US Presidents, from Washington to Obama-featuring a singing, dancing all-female cast! The show is comprised of 44 unique vignettes-fast-paced, provocative, moving and often hilarious-featuring hundreds of props, live instrumentation and sung music laced throughout.
Just in time for the 2016 election season, the play now includes a choose-your-own-ending option (provided by the Neo-Futurists), allowing the audience to envision a hypothetical future with one of the two major party candidates.
