American Patriots; a theatrical song cycle

American Patriots is a theatrical song-cycle that captures the contemporary American zeitgeist from four vastly different perspectives: African-American, Native American, New American, and white Working-Class American. The show asks us to actively examine the way we think about race, class, and who this country is for; and to gain perspective into the lives of other Americans we may not have previously identified with. 

Featuring newly commissioned songs (texts taken from contemporary interviews of 50 Americans from across the Nation), American Patriots takes an unflinching look at the lived reality of American Ideals today. The five composers' unique styles create a dynamic auditory experience that reflects the diversity of this country: at times classical, jazzy, Broadway, funny, serious, and alarming, but always engaging and unexpected.

Workshop presentation March 14th, 15th, and 16th at the Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, VA.

Trifles

to Jan 25

Trifles

First performed in 1916, the one-act drama tells the story of two women faced with the decision of whether to uphold the law, or protect one of their own. Glaspell's compact and emotionally-charged work delivers a vivid portrait of rural life at the turn of the century, and brings the hardships silently borne by women to the forefront. The Shrill Collective expands upon the original text, interweaving folk music and giving voice to the play's unseen central figure, Minnie Wright.

In this immersive new adaptation, Annie lends her voice to the Nebraska Nightingales and plays guitar and accordion.
