Intiman Theatre Presents The Race 2020

Calendar/Event Details

With the 2020 US presidential election fast approaching, the Intiman Emerging Artist Program: Alumni Edition (IEAP) will offer an online, interactive presentation of Sojourn Theatre’s The Race 2020 engaging the community in a civic dialogue to inspire voter registration and action, social justice, and improved race relations. The show blends performance, call and response, question and answer, and song into a participatory, highly improvised exploration of what America wants in a leader during a time of change. The IEAP cohort will adapt, rehearse, and present The Race 2020 working entirely remotely to guarantee cohort and audience safety during COVID-19.

Audiences are encouraged but not required to participate. The presentation will run 90mins and no two performances will be the same.

The Race 2020 was originally created in 2008 at Georgetown University with leadership from Sojourn Theatre. The original script / score is by Michael Rohd with material developed and created by Sojourn Theatre ensemble members Michael Rohd, Shannon Scrofano, Liam Kaas-Lents, and Courtney Davis. Intiman Theatre’s adaptation will feature additional material from the IEAP: Alumni Edition cohort. It is directed by Shermona Mitchell and Marc Weinblatt.
