Mike Daisey has graciously volunteered to turn this event into a benefit for Woolly’s Internship Program, which helps early career artists make the transition from school to the professional theatre. The evening will be produced by Woolly’s intern class, the Tiny Mammoths, and all proceeds will go towards raising intern stipends and supporting their program.

American Utopias, which will be performed at Woolly Mammoth this spring from March 25th to April 21st, investigates how we work to create civic spaces in which we can dream of better worlds. Daisey takes us everywhere to pursue the story: from Disney World and its nostalgic theme park perfection, to the drug-fueled anarchic excesses of Burning Man, to Zuccotti Park, where in the unlikeliest place the Occupy movement is born. Gunplay, giant glittery dildos, raving animatronic presidents, and brutal police actions come together to paint the landscape of our American dream.
