Goat in the Road Productions (GRP) is pleased to present its newest original theater work, Our Man, debuting in the New Orleans Fringe Festival, November 18th through the 20th.
Our Man is a comedic multidisciplinary performance work that explores the intersection of performance and politics in the modern age, through the lenses of 1950’s era radio broadcasts, and a decidedly fictional approach to American political history. Two men in a small glass box are tasked with narrating the life and accomplishments of one of the nations most controversial leaders, “The Gipper”. Forced to perform the same radio play over and over again for an invisible audience, the lines of fact and fiction blur as the men begin to slowly re-write the course of history in an effort to entertain each other and understand the context of their unusual situation. Through clever and hilarious half truths and brutal mudslinging tactics, the two find themselves arguing their way through small towns in the Midwest, all the way to Europe on the front lines of WWII, all the while deciding whether or not to elect their only possession, an old wooden tennis racquet, their President.
Our Man is conceived and performed by GRP’s William Bowling and Christopher Kaminstein, and is written by the duo and collaborator Sascha Stanton-Craven.
The AllWays Theater – 2240 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans November 18th – 9PM November 19th – 9PM November 20th – 7PM Tickets $8 at the door, or online at www.nofringe.org
