    A deliriously savage comedy about American extremism, Freedom Club moves from a dream-play involving Abraham Lincoln and assassin John Wilkes Booth to Virginia, 2012, where a dissolving band of wannabe extremists tries to get more radical. The Riot Group, known for their potent barrage of language, and New Paradise Laboratories, famous for their physicality, collaborated to create this lyrical and provocative work. Written by Adriano Shaplin and directed by Whit MacLaughlin, the play features Drew Friedman, McKenna Kerrigan*, Jeb Kreager*, Mary McCool*, Paul Schnabel, Adriano Shaplin, and Stephanie Viola. Previous New Paradise Laboratories Live Arts Festival shows: Fatebook (2009), Batch (2007), and Don Juan in Nirvana (2004). Previous Riot Group Live Arts Festival show: Hearts of Man (2007). Freedom Club is made possible with the support of The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Theatre Initiative, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
