American Dreams is an ensemble-driven participatory performance with both in person and digital versions, that imagines a world where the only way to gain citizenship is by competing in a nationally-televised game show run by the U.S. government. Through our most valued and frustrating of democratic processes, audience members choose by majority rule their favorite of three contestants in each of five rounds, culminating in a final vote for their newest fellow citizen. As the game unfolds, audience investment and implication intensifies, blurring the lines between truth and fiction in an immersive, interactive exploration of who and what we choose to believe, and how those decisions shape what it means to be(come) American. www.americandreamsplay.com
