Monologue by Mike Daisy

Directed by Tatiana Carnevale
"This could easily become heavy-handed sermonizing, but the talented and likable cast keep a breezy conversational tone, making for a consistently engaging and often darkly funny 75 minutes."

"Based on a monologue by American writer Mike Daisey, it’s part history lesson, part cautionary tale, leavened with characters’ personal observations about casual racism, celebrity and the power of lies. Plus, there are musical interludes provided by Julie Lumsden and hosts Elliot Lazar and Connie Manfredi. Aaron Pridham and Anjali Sandhu round out the cast, who invite a party of friends and family to play Trump, the board game. Naturally it’s winner take all, but this quintet should take the popular fringe vote, too."
