    Artist: Mike Daisey

    A CO-PRESENTATION WITH PHILADELPHIA THEATRE COMPANY "Layering outrage, official and underground history, personal memoir and rollicking humor, Daisey makes you think, feel and question. And he makes you laugh - hearty laughter, cathartic and barbed. Spellbinding." —Seattle Times How Theater Failed America has monologist Mike Daisey sinking his razor-sharp wit into the dystopian state of theater in America. From “successful” working actors traveling like migrant farmhands to an arts culture unwilling to speak or listen to its own nation, Daisey answers the essential questions about the art we’re making, the legacy we leave the future, and who it is we believe we’re speaking to. Mike Daisey has been a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman, a commentator for PRI’s Studio 360, and NPR’s Day To Day, and a contributor to WIRED, Slate, and Salon magazines. Executive Producers: Marty Tuzman, Eileen Heisman, and Jenkintown Building Services
