'Where You Now Shall Go' at Common Basis Theater

Stone Soup Theatre Arts presents Where You Now Shall Go, written by the ensemble cast , at the Common Basis Theater from the 8 - 30 Apr 2005.

A puppet protagonist's journey to find a homeland for his displaced people is the framework for an examination of our First Amendment. As he travels from desert to forest, from the feet of the Statue of Liberty to the end of the world, myth is paralleled by reality. True stories of liberty, including cast members� experiences in Times Square protests, with jaded parents and attempts to petition are intertwined with the hero�s. A blend of hopeful allegory, chilling realism, humor and the belief in a place where freedom isn't wasted or abused, Where You Now Shall Go explores the best and worst of being free.

Randy Anderson, directs Where You Now Shall Go. This show brings together Stone Soup's passion for giving issues new perspectives, and Anderson's ability to use myth, puppetry and traditional storytelling techniques to explore them. The cast primarily consists of Stone Soup company members who have not only written the text of the play, but designed the puppets, sound and costumes.

Randy Anderson directs the following cast: Nat Cauldwell, Teresa Jusino, Marsha Martinez, Maria Schirmer, Shawn Shafner, Ben Trawick-Smith and Rachel Wahl.

For this production the Stone Soup Theatre Arts is partnering with the NYCLU and other education groups to help inform New York City�s youth about their First Amendment Rights.
