Kill the President

Kill the President
A two-act playscript. Seth Robbins has developed a new weapon of mass destruction. With the help of a suicidal flight attendant and a well connected charlatan, he sets out to kill the President. This choose-your-own-adventure play follows three mismatched revolutionaries whose lives gain purpose through their quest to assassinate their leader. Kill the President is a fast paced adventure where democracy reins and every vote counts. Audience members are polled and their votes directly influence the direction of the play. Should capital punishment be legal? How far should civil disobedience go? Is killing another human being ever acceptable? One play. Five Questions. Unlimited possibilities. What happens in the end? You decide!

Yippie!

Synopsis:
Yippie! is an explosive look back on the events that defined the Youth International Party. 1967 meets 2011 in this time twisting exploration of freedom, fun, and fanatics. Based on the Beggars Group's 2001 hit production Do It!, Yippie! explores the politics of protest through a stylized and highly physical collection of scenarios from the Yippie movement. Founded in 1967, the Yippies turned political angst and protest into theater through such stunts as dropping dollar bills on the Stock exchange and levitating the Pentagon. Things turn violent in the summer of 1968 during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago where "sit ins" are replaced by Molotov Cocktails. Yippie! asks the question: What are you willing to sacrifice for the revolution?
