    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 The Last Cargo Cult tells the true-life story of Daisey’s journey to a remote South Pacific island where the inhabitants worship America. Their stories of belief, faith, and sympathetic magic are told alongside a sharp and searing examination of the international financial crisis. 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
