Are we as divided as the media woud like us to believe?
Can our geographical location predict what our politics are?
Is there more that connects us than separates us?

This verbatim documentary theatre experience was created from over 100 interviews that were gathered over the past year with participants across the country. You might be surprised by what you discover about yourself and this continuing experiment that we call the United States of America. 

Presented by the Program in Educational Theatre & the Verbatim Performance Lab, in collaboration with NYU-TV, NYU Libraries, and the NYU John Brademas Center, and with support from Global Research Initiatives, Office of the Provost.
