Chemeketa Theater
2008-2009 Season
In this election year, bombarded with sound bytes, public opinion polls and media overload, it is important to consider the essential thing that makes us American: our individuality. In choosing a focus for the artistic season, we wanted to discover the essential quality of being American: our voice. So, this year, "Voices of America" will guide our viewing and discussion of the plays. These plays were chosen to offer a variety of story-tellers, and as we engage with each story, we are given an opportunity to consider more deeply where we stand, what we believe, and how we want to share our unique "American-ness" with others.
