         Home/Sick         That Poor Dream

Home/Sick

Synopsis:
Disgusted by the Vietnam War and the government's repression of those seeking equality domestically, a handful of leaders from the 1960s student movement seized control of Students for a Democratic Society and reshaped it in the name of overthrowing the United States government. Believing violence to be the only means to a true and lasting peace, these passionate idealists accelerated a movement to its fervor, but left a country behind. This is an ensemble-devised piece of political theater that explores the history of the 1960s radical group, the Weather Underground.

That Poor Dream

Synopsis:
A moving mosaic of what it means to be endowed with Great Expectations, That Poor Dream is set on a train traveling from New York City to Fairfield, CT, uniting worlds divided by geography, privilege, and time. Inspired by Charles Dickens classic novel about coming of age in a profoundly class-conscious society, the work draws on the companys own complex relationship to class identity and economic disparity in American society. The Assembly's newest creation explores how class defines and divides us, and how our shared humanity might bring us closer together.
