Life After Bush - Theater Seeks Personal Stories About Life in Post-GW America

[obtheatre]

It has been nearly eight years since George W. Bush took office and in that time much has changed across the American landscape. How has your life changed since George W. Bush became President? Have you been directly affected by the tragedies of 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina? Have you or a loved one served in Iraq or Afghanistan? Has the housing foreclosure crisis hit too close to your home? How are you coping with $4 a gallon gasoline and rising food costs? How are you surviving?

How is your America 2008 different from your America 2001? Are you better or worse off? Do you blame/credit the President?

We are small theater outside of Pittsburgh, PA, assembling stories from real people to tell the story of where America is today. These stories will be worked into monologues to be presented as an evening of live political theater.

We are looking for your TRUE personal story – a one to two page monologue of how your life has been affected or changed by the past eight years under the Bush administration – told in the first person. And we are not just interested in the negative – if your situation has improved or you have been changed for the better, we’d like to hear those stories as well.

Be bold, be brave, be honest. Let your voice be heard. Although there is no monetary compensation for chosen monologues, authors will be credited in the program (i.e. John Smith of Tulsa, OK) and a copy of the program will be mailed to them. Thank you for your submission. Deadline is August 15th. If we choose to use your story, you will be notified by the end of August.

Send to [e-mail] in body of email - no attachments. Thank you!
