THE EINSTEIN PLAN

The Los Angeles Theatre Center (LATC)
( 03/27/2010 - 05/23/2010 )

The new theatre event “The Einstein Plan” takes its title from renowned scientist and humanist Albert Einstein, who suggested that if as little as 2% of the population engaged in non-violent civil disobedience, the government would not be able to operate as usual. The people could bring government to a standstill long enough for legislators to be forced to actually listen to their constituents. In “The Einstein Plan”’s interactive format, a character who is simply called “The Exile” directly engages the audience and invites them to participate in creating their political future. In the second act the “Stage Manager” leads an audience discussion about whether this makes sense, and what kind of participation, if any, people feel comfortable with.
