Sonoma State University Dept. of Theatre Arts & Dance presents "Abraham Lincoln’s Big, Gay Dance Party"
By Aaron Loeb / Directed by Doyle Ott
As the 2016 presidential campaign gets underway, SSU's Dept. of Theatre Arts & Dance presents this thought provoking political farce by Aaron Leob. When Honest Abe is "outed" in a re-imagined grade school Christmas pageant, controversy and chaos engulf a small Illinois town. Big-city reporters and Congressional candidates descend, while family skeletons are forced out of the closet. Audience members choose the order of the play, while top hats and beards abound in this hilarious, poignant, timely look at prejudice past and present.
