Occupy Arden Hills: Or, Brother Can You Spare A Dome? June 16, 2012

In 'Occupy Arden Hills: or, Brother Can You Spare a Dome?' the Brave New Workshop has one simple demand: let the good times roll! At a time when almost all of us are unhappy about something, the Brave New Workshop steps up to inject its civilly disobedient satire and greed-less laughter into our changing world. While TIME Magazine names The Protestor 2011 "Person of the Year" and Minnesotans bicker over how to find and fund a new stadium, the BNW is busy skewering it all with the social and political fodder that revels in unrest and has made the theatre the comedy choice for angry citizens since 1958. Show Director and BNW Artistic Director Caleb McEwen and cast were inspired to join the protests across the globe and write a show that, in true BNW style, exposes all sides of the unhappiness movement. "Whether they want a stadium or not, whether they're a Tea Party activist or they're occupying Wall Street, everyone has one thing in common: everyone thinks everyone else is an idiot," said McEwen. "We intend to show that everyone is right. This show will set the stage for our 2012 election show this Fall, which will then set the stage for the end of the world as we know it."
