Party People

July 3 – November 3, 2012

Party on!

Prepare for a high-energy, infectious mix of theatre, poetry, jazz, blues, hip-hop, boleros and salsa as UNIVERSES digs into the story and legacy of an American revolution. Four decades ago, the Black Panthers and Puerto Rican Young Lords were young activists providing food and health care in their impoverished communities while in a desperate struggle to survive the systematic dismantling of their movements. Now they are 60-somethings untangling a traumatic past and an unclear future. In ensemble, OSF actors and UNIVERSES toggle between then and now in this meticulously researched, compelling work of fiction.
Suitability Suggestions
This OSF American Revolutions world premiere contains frequent strong profanity, racial slurs and moments of strong violence, as well as the possibility of sexuality. Party People is recommended for mature students 16 and up.
