Description
American Patriots, created by Samantha Rose Williams, is a new music-theater production that explores what it means to be American from four vastly different perspectives: African-American, Native American, New American, and white Working-Class American. Songs set to the verbatim text of interviews with Americans today, take an unflinching look at the day-to-day realities of American ideals. Featuring compositions by Regina Harris Baiocchi, Gala Flagello, Danielle Jagelski, and Yaniv Segal, the four composers; unique styles create a dynamic auditory experience that is at times classical, jazzy, broadway, funny, serious, and alarming but always engaging and unexpected. American Patriots asks audiences to actively examine the way they think about identity, unconscious bias, and who this country is for; and to foster meaningful connection with people they may not have previously identified with.
