Acting Up (in Acadiana) voices its patriotism in The Patriot ACTs II, a series of short plays, video & song. Taking an often humorous look at the state of our political system as the 2008 Presidential Election approaches are fisherman in a boat without a paddle, a mother, a daughter and their socio-political generation gap, an oilman with an environmental conscience and a boss without one, a diverse cast of characters waiting in line to vote, and more.
The show features contributors from Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Houston & New York City. Actors include Hannah Briggs, Ricky Briggs, Lian Cheramie, Brian Crutchfield, David Guarisco, Kara Guarisco, Megan LeBleu, George Saucier, andCissy Whipp. Writers include Vince LiCata (Caribou X-ing), Steven Cooper(Currents), Cindy Childress (Brick Walls Talking Again), Dennis Ward (Lowered Expectations) and Kimberly J. Wescott (Museum Peace). Highlights are Walter Pierce appearing as a musician/songwriter with The Middle Class Squeeze, and Joseph Lymus’ Stimulus Check music video. Amy Waguespack directs, Marla Kristicevich leads the carnival and Paige Krause choreographs.
