Michael Rohd and Sojourn Theatre are working on a Georgetown University project called The Race, about the presidential election. They need your help in exploring "democracy as pluralism, and pluralism as an organizing principle for the theatrical notion of chorus. Voices. From all over. Onstage in a different kind of conversation about contemporary U.S. politics." They are using technology to gather voices for the event, bringing people from around the country live onstage (virtually) as a chorus during the show. They are working with tech departments at Georgetown and setting up Web-based streaming video for connections.

WHAT THEY NEED: partners from around the country -- universities, businesses and civic organizations -- that have various levels of capacity for video Web-based conferencing. "We are working to find sites that have more than Skype potential," they say. "Lots of campuses have these [media] rooms or spaces. We are trying to find partners who would like to help us one or two evenings have 1-3 folks at these local sites to be in live video chat with us during performances, and help us create our national chorus." The shows/events are October 30-November 8 (Monday and Tuesday nights off).
