"I Was the Voice of Democracy"

Princeton University theater professor Brian Herrera will
perform his autobiographical solo show I Was
the Voice of Democracy. The show is an hour-long, solo performance
that recalls the true story of a 17-year-old who is briefly thrust into a
peculiar kind of fame when a patriotic speech he writes on a whim ends up
winning a national contest. Through autobiographical storytelling, this
one-person, multimedia event offers a mix of analysis and anecdote, both
hilarious and heartbreaking, as Herrera puzzles through the memories, mementos
and artifacts that comprise the archive of his own teenage experience.
