"bobrauschenbergamerica" at [Inside] the Ford

TheSpyAnts presents the Los Angeles premiere of Charles L. Mee's
"bobrauschenbergamerica" at [Inside] the Ford, with tickets to the previews and Sunday matinees all pay-what-you-can.

From the press release:
bobrauschenbergamerica - The Los Angeles premiere of Charles L. Mee's delightful, kaleidoscopic play, a fantastical road trip through the American landscape, written as Robert Rauschenberg, one of America's greatest living artists, might conceive it. Traveling easily through time, the play is a glorious collage of images and sensations - Rauschenberg's childhood home, a human martini, a pizza delivery boy, the world's worst collection of chicken jokes. More than a biographical portrait, bobrauschenbergamerica is a tribute to one artist's singular vision. "Brashly, unapologetically entertaining... a work that will resonate even with someone who has never seen one of Mr. Rauschenberg's famous collages." - The New York Times.

Previews: January 21 and 22
