20/20: A Presidential Re-Election Play Where You Decide the Future
Now Available for Streaming Online!

What happens if the President is re-elected? In 20/20, a play by Theatre Makers, the answer is up to the audience. 20/20 is now available as a series of ten videos you can stream online from the comfort of your home at http://ritualart.org/2020/video

Developed by grassroots company Theatre Makers, 20/20 combines speculative fiction and political satire in a work from co-writers Stardust Doherty and Kari Barclay. What would happen if the President were impeached? (that scenario came true!) If a corporation or the military staged a coup? If San Francisco became an independent country? A diverse cast of new talent performs roles ranging from dissident Muni drivers to frantic tech CEOs to new-age cult leaders to the President himself. With comedy and depth, the show asks how our current political situation will shake out.

“20/20 engages audience participation around the events of our day, highlighting social, political, economic, and environmental change (SPEEC) themes to fuel co­ creation of our collective future,” said co writer Stardust Doherty.

“The world is full of possibility,” said co-writer Kari Barclay. “We’ve taken 20/20 to extremes of utopia and dystopia, and I’m excited to see which scenarios the audience chooses for the actors to perform.”

The “20/20 Video” is a series of videos documenting the play’s award-winning original presentation at the 2019 San Francisco Fringe Festival.

Show Synopsis: The year is 2020. The President has been re-elected, the climate is heating up, the economy is in meltdown. In this satirical participatory performance, audience members choose the scenarios to stage: impeachment? a coup? a revolution? 20/20 asks what people power looks like in a time of vast uncertainty when even choosing to do nothing has consequences.

Theatre Makers provides common ground for diverse communities to collaborate on, incubate, and stage both newly created and historically relevant audience-participatory plays based on social, political, economic, and environmental change (SPEEC) themes. The project welcomes those interested in dramatic and musical theatre, professional and amateur theater, commercial and non-profit theatre, including non-traditional theatrical events (performance art, street theater, pop-up theatre, home theatre, puppet shows, etc.) with activities including, for example:

  • Discussions of all aspects of theatre creation and production
  • Exchanging information on opportunities available
  • Collaboration on incubating audience participatory plays and musicals based on social, political, economic, and environmental change (SPEEC) themes​
  • Workshops of plays and musicals under development
  • Readings and staged readings of plays and musicals for educational and motivational purposes

Theatre Makers particularly fosters events that are inclusive and affirming of people based on class, race/ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, (dis)ability, age, and other identities. 

Theatre Makers is a project of the Ritual Art Troupe, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to fostering and developing multi-disciplinary arts, including conception, investigation, development, production, and sharing of musical, dance, visual, theatrical, cinematic, and literary works with special attention to conserving our cultural heritage, serving a wide range of audiences, and encouraging creators and creations from diverse communities.

Assassination Disclaimer:

The writers expressly denounce the assassination of political figures and intend the fictional Assassination scenario in the “20/20” play to discourage any such actions. During these politically polarized times, we have noticed a trend on left and right to direct animus toward individual figures and to imagine that violence against individuals would solve shared political woes, when the truth is that such strategies or tactics would only cause a strong reaction of repressive laws and human rights abuses, rather than constructive political change. Out of concern for human life and for our collective power, we oppose true-life assassinations and present them here merely in the context of fiction to channel those impulses harmlessly in a sort of catharsis for those daydreaming about such possibilities.

20/20: A Presidential Re-Election Play Where You Decide the Future Coming to San Francisco Public Libraries on February 29 & March 1!

What happens if the President is re-elected? In 20/20, a play by Theatre Makers, the answer is up to the audience. 20/20 will be presented as part of the San Francisco Public Library’s “SF by the Bay” science fiction and fantasy celebration.

Developed by grassroots company Theatre Makers, 20/20 combines speculative fiction and political satire in a work from co-writers Stardust Doherty and Kari Barclay. What would happen if the President were impeached? (that scenario came true!) If a corporation or the military staged a coup? If San Francisco became an independent country? A diverse cast of new talent performs roles ranging from dissident Muni drivers to frantic tech CEOs to new-age cult leaders to the President himself. With comedy and depth, the show asks how our current political situation will shake out.

“20/20 engages audience participation around the events of our day, highlighting social, political, economic, and environmental change (SPEEC) themes to fuel co­ creation of our collective future,” said co writer Stardust Doherty.

20/20 Library Tour Flyer

Stage Manager Gig for “20/20 Library Tour” in San Francisco

We at the Theatre Makers project of the small non-profit Ritual Art Troupe are looking for a hands-on Stage Manager for our “20/20 Library Tour” with two free performances on February 29 and one free performance on March 1 at three San Francisco libraries.

The Stage Manager must be:

  • physically and mentally capable of tracking and wrangling existing sets, props, costumes, and actors, including load-in, strike, load-out, and transport
  • available to assist with casting calls
  • available to co-supervise three performances and ten rehearsals with the Artistic Director of the production, including existing prompt book for blocking, light, sound, set changes, and actor entrances/exits, and attention to safety issues
  • capable of driving a rental truck (highly preferred, regular driver’s license)

To interview for this Stage Manager gig, please 
email theatre-makers@ritualart.org with your name, email address, phone number, city where you live, summary of stage management  experience, whether you have a valid drivers license, and availability  for performance dates of February 29 and March 1, 2020.

Imagine: It’s the year 2020. The President has been re-elected, the  climate is heating up, and the economy is in meltdown. Now, it’s up to all of us to figure out what happens next. “20/20” asks what people  power looks like in a time of vast uncertainty when even choosing to do nothing at all has its consequences.

Not only is the “20/20” play entertaining and fun, it gives audiences a chance to participate by choosing from and exploring eight possible futures: impeachment (wow, we got that one right!), electoral progress, assassination (with a disclaimer from the writers), corporate coup, military coup, do nothing, general strike, and decentralized revolution.

While the media conglomerates focus us all on petty rivalries among  national politicians, so much political territory remains undiscovered.

Expense reimbursement will depend on continuing success of fundraising efforts ($100 minimum) (all other expenses are already covered, so fundraising from this point on will be for stage manager and actors reimbursements).

To see a preview video, read a review, or congratulation us on our award for the 2019 Fringe Festival version of the “20/20” play, see http://www.ritualart.org/2020
