The Agenda

Friday, May 18, 10pm at Perishable Theater

Giant faces from political campaign signs come alive to ponder Election Day 2006. A third party candidate—Jeff Toste of the Green Party—runs to become State Senator for District 5 in Providence Rhode Island. With split personalities his campaign signs invite you to join them as they look for answers to their political questions: Why vote? Are politics like sports? Do people know what they’re voting for? Should we have more than two political parties? Does anyone care about politics anymore?

A dancing voting machine, floating heads, a glow-in-the-dark President Bush, and a campaign commercial from the devil give you some idea of the telling of this satirical and surreal short story.
