February 20 - March 1, 2009
Experience live-action poetry that explores the American landscape in a play that one of our greatest artists, Robert Rauschenberg, might have conceived if he had been a playwright instead of a painter. It’s a delightful collage of people and places and music and dancing, of love stories and picnics and business schemes and shootings and chicken jokes and golfing. A quintessentially American play.
Mee was the 2007-2008 playwright in residence for the Signature Theatre Company in New York where he premiered three new plays. He is the recipient of the lifetime achievement award in drama from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and two OBIE Awards for Vienna: Lusthaus and Big Love. Mee currently teaches playwriting at Columbia University.
