American Civic Forum

Famous speeches and letters from U.S. history, performed live

Local actors performed live readings of letters, speeches, or other texts from American history, with an emcee putting each piece in context. I co-produced the series, curated a show on immigration, and co-curated a show on the Southern Strategy. I also performed occasionally, including in the sold-out Fringe show “It is So Ordered,” which featured key opinions from the Supreme Court.
