A game show that asks audiences whether or not to award someone U.S. citizenship sounds like a twisted kind of dystopia. But for the co-creators of American Dreams, an interactive production staging live online performances through Nov. 15, that unsettling premise is closer than it may seem to the truth. “Every time you vote, you’re choosing how this country operates,” said Tamilla Woodard, director and co-creator […]
