The stage: Two square wooden platforms, one slightly smaller the one under it, to the left. To the right, a piano.
Allan Buchman, Culture Project founder and producing artistic director, comes forward from the wing. He's wearing a dapper cream sweater, waiting to speak to the audience. Every seat is filled, and more are trickling in, apparently squeezing into the right-front wing.
Allan speaks: Good evening. Dig deeply tonight into the voice of our soul. America in crisis. [Themes emerging.] Katrina. Economic disparity. Bloodshed in our name. The silence of our generation, compared to the movements of the past. Break the door of apathy. Pilgrimage of hope. Welcome.
A good, short speech.
(Oh, and we're supposed to have a channel on a podcasting site called Podango. More details on this as I ferret out information about it.)
