A squirt gun would never be mistaken for a real gun, right? Dive into the thought-provoking world of Water. Gun. Argument and challenge what we choose to believe. A thought provoking and powerful piece in a docu-theatre style.

Sweep Under Rug: Competition Version

Sweep Under Rug: Competition Version

by Lindsay Price

NEW Competition Version!

In the future, a class war has confined the poor to “The City” and placed struggling families in the Bobby Sue program. Bobby Sue tells its owners when to wake up, when to apply for jobs, and how to be good. Doesn’t everyone want to be a good, shining star? There’s cake for shining stars! Doesn’t everyone want to be told what to do? What to think?

But what happens when people want to think for themselves? And why isn’t anyone allowed to leave?

Excellent competition piece with a NEW added ensemble!
