As Election Day approaches, freedom gets a rewrite.

When a group of friends witnesses an act of police brutality on the 4th of July, they confront the gap between America's promises and its reality. Inspired by the ideals of Independence Day, they set out to rewrite the Declaration of Independence — ensuring it speaks for everyone.

This devised theatre piece invites you to help shape the story. Your voice will directly influence the narrative through audience participation, making each performance unique and reflective of the people in the room.

Join us just before Election Day as we reimagine the foundations of freedom and equality. Together, we'll craft a Declaration that includes the voices of all people — right when your voice matters most.

Be part of the story. Be part of history.
