ABOUT

 
DEMOCRACY: AN AMERICAN MUSICAL 
is a theme-based rather than a story or plot-based work,
the “theme,” of course, being democracy, and more specifically
democracy as currently practiced in the United State of America.

The goal is to create a work that not only engages and entertains audiences,
but educates and motivates them to support and defend democracy in the face of threats and dangers.
It is not intended to promote or disparage any political party but rather to
encourage listeners to support parties and candidates whom they
believe will best defend our democracy as it functions within our constitutional republic.

This theatrical work is to be performed by eight (or more) vocalists:
Two Sopranos; Two Altos; Two Tenors, and Two Baritones.
This is an "ensemble show," consistent with DEI philosophy 
(Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). There are no “leading ladies or men.” 
Every character has meaningful musical solos and dialogue or monologues.
To the extent possible, producers are encouraged to recruit a diverse 
cast especially with regard to ethnicity and age. 

It is organized into four acts.
Act I: People
Act II: Freedom
Act III: Danger
Act IV: Nation
