Party On!

For the past couple of weeks, we've been working on our upcoming production of "Party People."  This show is going to be so cool and I'm super excited about it.  The story of the show is that it is a performance piece performed by a children of the Black Panthers and the Young Lords and directed at the revolutionaries of that time talking about all that his parents gave up to make this revolution happen.  

From the OSF website:

"Prepare for a high-energy, infectious mix of theatre, poetry, jazz, blues, hip-hop, boleros and salsa as UNIVERSES digs into the story and legacy of an American revolution. Four decades ago, the Black Panthers and Puerto Rican Young Lords were young activists providing food and health care in their impoverished communities while in a desperate struggle to survive the systematic dismantling of their movements. Now they are 60-somethings untangling a traumatic past and an unclear future. In ensemble, OSF actors and UNIVERSES toggle between then and now in this meticulously researched, compelling work of fiction."

It's going to be moving.  It's going to be real.   It's going to be fantastic.

UNIVERSES is an incredibly interesting, fun and cool group you just have to see.  Below, they discuss a little of the background of "Party People."
