In How Theater Failed America, Mike Daisey sinks his razor-sharp wit into a subject he knows well: the American theater. From gorgeous new theaters standing empty as cathedrals, to “successful” working actors traveling like migrant farmhands, to an arts culture unwilling to speak or listen to its own nation, Daisey takes stock of the dystopian state of theater  in America: a shrinking world with smaller audiences every year.

We are in the middle of a promotional campaign with Victory Gardens, and are quickly spreading the word on this funny, witty, self deprecating show. With only six performances, you’ll want to make sure you grab tickets.

How Theater Failed America is at Victory Gardens Biograph Theater  April 26th though May 2nd. Please visit www.victorygardens.org for more information.
