" . . . imagine a bunch of energetic but clueless aliens trying to  audition for American citizenship based only on what they've heard on  the radio . . ."

— Willamette Week

Mining the popular musical traditions of the American heartland,  Hand2Mouth Theatre samples Karaoke, outlandish theatricality, and  absurdist humor in this imaginative work that questions what it means to be a true American. The company plays fast and loose with many of  the icons Americans hold dear, marrying heartfelt working songs and  campfire sing-a-longs to Southern Rock Anthems and SUV's. Steering a course between irony and true compassion, Repeat After Me takes us on a manic tour through the other America and back into ourselves.

Repeat After Me was commissioned by On The Boards and made possible with support from the Regional Arts & Culture Council, The Equity Foundation, and The Kinsman Foundation. This project is supported in part by a grant from the Oregon Cultural Trust, investing in Oregon's arts, humanities and heritage.
