16th Street Theater

Season Six 2013: The American Dream
The American Dream is one of aspiration. If we work hard enough we can climb up the ladder to achieve greatness. Does climbing up this ladder require removing the rungs so others don't pass by us in our race to the top? Do affordable goods for me mean low wages for you? Do those at the top deserve all they have, can those at the bottom ever climb out of the hole, and should those in the middle lend a hand or pledge never to look down? Next up: BROKEN FENCES
