A new piece of Journalistic Theater by Dan Hoyle Directed by Aldo Billingslea
About this Event

From the creator of Tings Dey Happen, The Real Americans, and Border People comes Takes All Kinds, a raw, funny, moving, searing new piece of journalistic theater and embodied storytelling. Takes All Kinds channels powerful, funny and complex people caught in the social and political currents roiling our society. And in tender portraits of everyday Americans turned unlikely changemakers, it illuminates ways forward in these tumultuous times.
Based on immersive reporting from the battlelines and trenches of Democracy, from school board showdowns in Florida, grassroots organizers in Atlanta, barbershops in Las Vegas, deprogrammers of violent extremists in Missouri and much more.
From Dan Hoyle whose work has been hailed as “riveting, funny and poignant” (New York Times) and “hilarious, moving and very necessary” (Salon) and directed by celebrated director and actor Aldo Billingslea, comes this riveting and essential new piece that will change the way you see the country.
“Stunning…something almost supernatural happens. Mind-blowing metamorphoses, every character has wisdom, every one surprises..” – San Francisco Chronicle
“By virtue of the authenticity and specificity of each portrayal, Hoyle mines the heart and humor of each American he interviewed, offering invaluable insight to our current national convergence.” –Charleston, South Carolina City Paper
"Phenomenal...moving and heartfelt...a gifted artist providing interesting and thoughtful commentary...a talented and versatile actor...Dan Hoyle is a major talent...don't miss this show." --Stage and Cinema
"A masterpiece of empathy, reporting, and channeling of citizens we would never meet ourselves...no shortage of laugh-out-loud moments...genius celebration of America on the brink” –Theatrius
