"On a college campus in the nation's capital, public discourse about this election cycle is in no short supply," explains Michael Rohd, visiting professor at Georgetown University, who conceived and directs an unprecedented theater project — part performance and part political forum, mirroring the 2008 presidential battle — called "The Race."
The production — updated with the latest news headlines, thus each performance may vary on any given day — incorporates a cross section of voices into an onstage conversation about important issues raised this election season, including what demographic will vote for each candidate and why, and what it takes to be a leader.
Mr. Rohd is founding artistic director of the Sojourn Theatre in Portland, Ore.
