Secret Guerrilla Theater Fun
Donation protected
Comrades! I must write quickly, as the government is monitoring public internet stations, hoping for some sign of me.
Years ago, in one of America’s darkest hours (no, not that one, the other one), my theatrical public-dissonance cell, the Imagination Liberation Front, emerged from the shadows with the subversive guerrilla comedy “I’m Gonna K*ll the Pres*dent!” A Federal Offense (but without all the asterisks) The show was an immersive, interactive satire about a couple of aspiring radicals trying to overthrow the government, performed in secret locations, by anonymous artists. Maybe you knew us. Maybe you were us.
We toured the country, staying one step ahead of the law, crashing the 2004 Republican Convention in NYC, neighborhood-hopping in Los Angeles, and occupying parks, parking lots, and basements in between. Perhaps you caught us on Fox News ?
But after the show’s abrupt conclusion, we were driven underground. Hounded, entrapped, villified. We’ve been on the run, but we’ve stayed busy, sharing airport snacks with Eddie Snowden, entertaining zapatistas in Chiapas, infiltrating the World Bank. Our mission has been to travel the world, delivering beautiful chaos and ridiculous befuddlement wherever it is needed.
Right now, wherever is America.
This fall, we’re reviving the award-winning production of “President!” As usual, performances will take place in secret locations throughout Los Angeles, changing neighborhoods every week.
But revolution is not cheap. Palms must be greased. Safehouses must be procured. Suspenders must be purchased.
Therefore, we are seeking Enablers, Collaborators, Conspirators, Co-Defendants and one or two Subversive Supremes to help fund the production.
