←Recommendations of Bulldozers

Infusing a common local setting with a strong universal message, Greg Romero brings home a very real, sometimes terrifying message. The audience participation is so organic, you feel as if you’re part of the story. Because you are.

This is a bitterly funny play, and a great opportunity to involve the audience. It immediately made me think of Flint, Michigan and those in power treating community members like pawns. This is a powerful play, and offers a lot of ways to tailor the production. It could be done a million different ways, and still retain its heartbreaking wit.

One could almost call this "audience immersion" as we seem to be part of a city council meeting happily tell us all that eminent domain is going to ruin all of our lives. But don't worry; be happy! Funny yet scary, because it all seems a bit too real.

A wonderfully witty combination of the mundane (a neighborhood meeting), the despicable (runaway eminent domain), and the unexpected (just what the hell is that wolf doing there?). Romero has crafted a dark, funny-sad play that, delightfully, also happens to rely on heavy audience involvement. So if you want to give your audience members a chance to stand up and fight City Hall, or at least to cuss it out, "Bulldozers" is the play for you.

With tongue firmly planted in cheek, Greg Romero shows us what is being done in one community to solve the budget crisis. The dry wit and dead-on depiction of the banal cruelty of well-meaning governance is both funny and terrifying.
